Overview

This HTS classification, 5208.49.80.90, pertains to woven cotton fabrics that are characterized by containing 85% or more cotton by weight and weighing no more than 200 grams per square meter. Specifically, it covers fabrics woven from yarns of different colors, falling under the broader category of "other fabrics" within this group. The "Other" designation at this level signifies fabrics that do not fit into more specific sub-classifications within the "of yarns of different colors" grouping, beyond those already enumerated.

To distinguish this category from its sibling, 5208.49.80.20, it is important to note that the sibling specifically covers "Jacquard woven" fabrics. Therefore, this current category, 5208.49.80.90, encompasses all other woven cotton fabrics of different colored yarns that are not of Jacquard construction, provided they meet the weight and cotton content criteria. The term "Other" here is crucial as it acts as a residual category for fabrics that don't meet the more granular descriptions.

Given that this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification decisions for this code would rely on the specific details of the fabric's weave, color arrangement, and confirmation that it is not of Jacquard design, while definitively meeting the quantitative requirements for cotton content and weight stipulated in the parent categories. Examples might include certain types of plaids, stripes, or other multi-colored patterns not created using a Jacquard mechanism.
