5208.59.80.90 - Other (220) 🖩

This HTS classification, 5208.59.80.90, specifically covers woven fabrics of cotton that meet stringent criteria: they must contain 85 percent or more cotton by weight and weigh no more than 200 grams per square meter. Within the broader category of printed cotton fabrics weighing not more than 200 g/m², this subheading applies to "other fabrics" that are not specifically enumerated under other indentations. The "Other (220)" designation indicates that this category serves as a residual classification for printed cotton fabrics within this weight and composition range that do not fall into more precise sub-classifications.

The key distinction for 5208.59.80.90 lies in its residual nature. For example, the sibling category 5208.59.80.20 covers "Oxford cloth," a specific type of woven fabric with a distinctive basket weave. This subheading, 5208.59.80.90, encompasses all other printed cotton fabrics meeting the general weight and cotton content requirements that do not possess the specific characteristics of Oxford cloth or any other specifically named fabric types within this group.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification into 5208.59.80.90 is definitive once the fabric has been determined to be a printed woven cotton fabric weighing no more than 200 g/m², containing 85% or more cotton, and not fitting into any more specific fabric type provided for at the same level or higher. Classification professionals should carefully examine the weave structure, printing method, and any specific design or finish to confirm it is not classifiable elsewhere.
