5209.11.00.25 - Osnaburg (313) 🖩

This HTS classification covers osnaburg, a type of woven cotton fabric. Osnaburg falls within the broader category of woven fabrics of cotton containing 85 percent or more by weight of cotton, specifically those weighing over 200 grams per square meter. The "unbleached," "plain weave," and "sheeting" designations further refine its characteristics, indicating it is in its natural state without bleaching, woven in a simple over-under pattern, and constructed in a manner typical of sheeting fabrics. The "not napped" criterion signifies that the fabric surface has not been raised or brushed.

This specific classification distinguishes osnaburg from its sibling category, "Other" under 5209.11.00.35. While both fall under unbleached, plain weave cotton sheeting over 200 g/m², the "Other" category is a residual designation for any such fabrics that do not specifically meet the definition of osnaburg. Therefore, classification here is dependent on the precise weave structure and weight characteristics that define osnaburg.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within this specific HTS code. Classification at this level signifies a definitive determination for osnaburg fabric meeting all the preceding criteria. Practical application involves verifying the cotton content (≥85% by weight), the fabric's weight (≥200 g/m²), its unbleached state, its plain weave construction, and its sheeting-like characteristics, ensuring it is not napped.
