Overview
This HTS category, 5209.21.00.20, specifically covers poplin or broadcloth woven fabrics of cotton. These fabrics are characterized by containing 85 percent or more by weight of cotton and exceeding a weight of 200 g/m². The "bleached" designation signifies that the cotton fibers or the fabric itself have undergone a bleaching process to remove natural color impurities, resulting in a white or off-white appearance.
The distinction of this category lies in its specific weave construction. While other sibling categories under "Plain weave" might exist, such as "duck" fabrics (5209.21.00.90), this classification is reserved for poplin and broadcloth. These weaves are known for their fine texture and smooth finish, achieved through a simple over-under interlacing of warp and weft yarns, often with a higher thread count than coarser plain weaves.
As this node is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under this specific code hinges entirely on meeting the criteria of being a bleached, plain weave cotton fabric weighing over 200 g/m², and being specifically identifiable as poplin or broadcloth by its characteristic weave and finish.
