5208.52.50.90 - Cheesecloth; lawns,voiles or batistes (226)

This HTS category, 5208.52.50.90, specifically classifies printed, plain weave cotton fabrics that are heavier than 100 g/m² but do not exceed 200 g/m², and are made of cotton yarn of number 69 or higher. The "other" designation at this level signifies that the fabric does not fall into more specific categories within the printed, plain weave classification. This primarily includes fabrics like cheesecloth, lawns, voiles, and batistes, provided they meet the specified weight and yarn count criteria.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 5208.52.50.20 (Poplin or broadcloth), is crucial. While both are printed plain weave cotton fabrics within the same weight range and yarn count parameters, poplin and broadcloth are distinct weaves with specific structural characteristics. This category encompasses printed fabrics that, while plain weave, do not conform to the precise weave structure of poplin or broadcloth, often resulting in a more open or delicate construction like cheesecloth or voile.

As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 5208.52.50.90 is therefore determined by meeting all the preceding criteria: being a woven cotton fabric containing 85% or more cotton by weight, not exceeding 200 g/m², printed, of plain weave, weighing more than 100 g/m², and composed of yarn of number 69 or higher, excluding those specifically identified as poplin or broadcloth.
