5209.29.00.60 - Duck, except plain weave (219) 🖩

This HTS category, 5209.29.00.60, specifically classifies bleached woven fabrics of cotton that weigh more than 200 g/m² and contain 85 percent or more cotton by weight, provided they are not of a plain weave. The "duck, except plain weave" designation indicates fabrics with a heavier construction, typically characterized by a balanced weave where the warp and weft threads have the same count and diameter. Examples include twill weaves commonly used for durable textiles like canvas, upholstery, and workwear, as long as they meet the weight and cotton content requirements and are not the simpler plain weave construction.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling, 5209.29.00.90, which covers "Other" bleached fabrics meeting the same general criteria (over 200 g/m², 85%+ cotton) but not falling into specific weave categories like satin or twill. While this node focuses on fabrics like duck that are *not* plain weave, the "Other" sibling would encompass any remaining bleached cotton fabrics of this weight and composition that are also not plain weave, potentially including less common weaves or constructions not otherwise specified.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 5209.29.00.60. Therefore, the focus is on ensuring the correct identification of the fabric's construction (duck, excluding plain weave), its bleached status, its weight exceeding 200 g/m², and its cotton content of 85 percent or more by weight, aligning with the requirements of the parent headings.
