5209.19.00 - Other fabrics

This HTS classification, 5209.19.00, pertains to unbleached woven cotton fabrics that meet specific weight and content criteria. To fall under this code, the fabric must contain 85 percent or more cotton by weight and weigh more than 200 grams per square meter. This category specifically covers woven cotton fabrics that are not accounted for by the more narrowly defined weaves found in sibling categories.

Distinguishing 5209.19.00 from its siblings, 5209.11.00 (plain weave) and 5209.12.00 (3-thread or 4-thread twill, including cross twill), is crucial for accurate classification. While all these fabrics are unbleached and meet the cotton content and weight requirements, 5209.19.00 is reserved for weaves other than plain, basic twill, or cross twill structures. Therefore, if an unbleached cotton fabric weighing over 200 g/m² is not a plain weave or a specific type of twill, it will likely be classified here.

Within this category, further distinctions are made by subcategories to refine classification based on weave type. For instance, if the fabric is a duck weave (excluding plain weave), it will be classified under 5209.19.00.60. All other unbleached woven cotton fabrics meeting the primary criteria but not falling into the specific duck weave subcategory are classified under the residual designation of "Other" at 5209.19.00.90. This hierarchical breakdown allows for precise identification of diverse cotton fabric types based on their weave construction.
