5209.21.00.35 - Other (313)

This classification pertains to woven fabrics of cotton that meet specific weight and composition requirements. To fall under this category, the fabric must contain at least 85% cotton by weight and have a weight exceeding 200 grams per square meter. Furthermore, these fabrics are specifically bleached, indicating they have undergone a process to remove natural color and achieve a white or lighter shade. The weave structure is confirmed as plain weave, a fundamental interlacing pattern where each weft yarn passes over and under successive warp yarns.

Distinguishing this "Other" classification from its sibling, "Osnaburg" (5209.21.00.25), lies in the specific type of plain weave fabric. While both are bleached, plain weave cotton fabrics exceeding 200 g/m², Osnaburg refers to a particular, typically coarser, plain weave fabric often used for practical purposes. This "Other" category encompasses all other plain weave, bleached cotton fabrics that meet the weight and composition criteria but do not specifically conform to the description of Osnaburg.

As a leaf node, this classification represents the most specific level of detail within its branch of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. Therefore, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification into this code relies on fulfilling all preceding criteria: being a woven fabric of cotton, containing at least 85% cotton, weighing over 200 g/m², being bleached, and having a plain weave construction, while not being classifiable as Osnaburg.
