5208.59 - Other fabrics:

This HTS category, 5208.59, encompasses printed woven fabrics of cotton that contain 85 percent or more by weight of cotton and do not exceed 200 g/m² in weight. Crucially, these fabrics are distinguished from their siblings by their printing method and weave construction. While sibling categories like 5208.51 and 5208.52 specify plain weave constructions with varying weight limitations, 5208.59 covers printed fabrics with other weave types or those not falling into the specified plain weave descriptions.

The subcategories within 5208.59 further refine the classification based on specific weave patterns and construction. For instance, 5208.59.10.00 precisely identifies 3-thread or 4-thread twill, including cross twill, as a distinct classification. This allows for a more granular categorization of printed twill fabrics.

Following these specific twill classifications, the remaining subcategories, such as 5208.59.20, address satin weave or twill weave fabrics that do not fit the more narrowly defined twill types. The "Other" designation serves as a catch-all for printed cotton fabrics within the weight and composition parameters of 5208.59 that have not been specifically enumerated in the preceding subcategories, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
