5208.59.80.20 - Oxford cloth (227)

This HTS subcategory, 5208.59.80.20, specifically classifies Oxford cloth woven fabrics of cotton that meet particular weight and composition criteria. To fall within this classification, the fabric must contain 85% or more cotton by weight and not exceed 200 g/m². The "Oxford cloth" designation signifies a characteristic basket weave structure, often with a slightly heavier feel than plain weaves. The "Printed" designation confirms that the fabric has undergone a printing process to impart a pattern or design.

The distinction between this category and its sibling, 5208.59.80.90 ("Other"), lies in the specific naming convention. While both are "other fabrics" within the broader "printed" woven cotton category, 5208.59.80.20 explicitly identifies Oxford cloth by its name, implying a more precise classification for this commonly recognized textile weave. The "Of number 69 or higher number" further refines this by referencing yarn count or thread count, suggesting that fabrics classified here will meet a certain standard for yarn fineness.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to detail. Therefore, the classification hinges on the definitive characteristics of the fabric: its cotton content, weight, basket weave structure (Oxford cloth), the presence of printing, and its yarn count or thread count falling into the specified numerical range. Correct classification depends on verifying these physical and compositional attributes against the imported goods.
