About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS category, 5208.59.40.90, encompasses printed woven fabrics of cotton that meet specific weight and cotton content criteria, and are not otherwise specified. The fabrics must contain 85 percent or more by weight of cotton and weigh no more than 200 grams per square meter. This subdivision specifically captures printed cotton fabrics that fall under the "Other fabrics" and "Other" headings at higher levels, and are not classified under any more specific printed fabric types within this sub-heading, such as Oxford cloth.

The key differentiator for this "Other" classification is the absence of a more precise description for the printed cotton fabric. If a printed woven cotton fabric, meeting the general weight and cotton content requirements, does not fit into a more narrowly defined category (like a specific weave pattern or construction that might be listed elsewhere), it will be classified here. This category serves as a residual classification for printed cotton fabrics that are otherwise eligible for Chapter 52 but lack a more specific designation.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on the precise definition of the goods that fall under this code. Importers and exporters should ensure that their printed cotton fabrics, weighing no more than 200 g/m² and containing at least 85% cotton, are carefully assessed to determine if they fit any more specific printed fabric classifications before defaulting to this "Other" category.
