5209.29.00.40 - Other (317)

This HTS category, 5209.29.00.40, encompasses woven cotton fabrics that are bleached and constructed using a satin or twill weave. Crucially, these fabrics must contain 85 percent or more by weight of cotton and exceed 200 grams per square meter in weight, aligning with the broader scope of Chapter 52 and the specific criteria of heading 52.09. The "Other" designation signifies fabrics within this weave type that do not fall under more specific subcategories, thereby capturing a diverse range of bleached cotton twills and satins that meet the weight and composition requirements.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling, 5209.29.00.20 (Sateens), by its broader inclusion of both satin and twill weaves. While sateen is a specific type of satin weave characterized by its smooth, lustrous surface created by the interlacing of warp yarns with filling yarns in a way that minimizes interlacings, this category encompasses a wider array of twill structures and other satin weaves not specifically designated as "sateens." The key lies in identifying the characteristic diagonal ribbing of twill or the specific surface characteristics of satin weaves that are not defined as "sateens" under the sibling category.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 5209.29.00.40 is therefore determined by meeting all preceding criteria: woven fabric of cotton containing 85% or more cotton by weight, weighing more than 200 g/m², bleached, and constructed in a satin or twill weave, but not specifically classified as a sateen. Examples might include durable twill fabrics used for workwear, upholstery fabrics with a satin weave, or other heavy bleached cotton textiles with these weave structures.
