5208.52.40.45 - Other (313) 🖩

This HTS classification, 5208.52.40.45, pertains to woven fabrics of cotton that are printed and fall into a "sheeting" category. These fabrics must contain 85 percent or more by weight of cotton, weigh no more than 200 g/m², and be of plain weave, weighing more than 100 g/m². The "Other" designation at this level indicates fabrics that do not fit into more specific sub-classifications within the printed sheeting category.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 5208.52.40.35, which specifically covers "Discharge printed" fabrics. While both are printed cotton sheetings meeting the weight and weave criteria, the defining difference lies in the printing method. This "Other" category encompasses all printed sheeting that is not discharge printed, meaning it includes other forms of printing such as roller printing, screen printing, or digital printing where the design is applied directly without removing color.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification within 5208.52.40.45 relies on carefully confirming that the printed woven cotton fabric meets all the preceding criteria (85% cotton, under 200 g/m², plain weave, over 100 g/m², sheeting construction) and is not specifically discharge printed. This classification ensures accurate duty assessment for a broad range of general printed cotton sheetings.
