5209.31.60.35 - Other (313)

This HTS category, 5209.31.60.35, encompasses specific types of dyed woven cotton fabrics. To qualify, the fabric must contain 85 percent or more by weight of cotton, weigh more than 200 grams per square meter, and be of a plain weave construction. The "Other" designation at this level indicates that these fabrics are not classified under the more specific "Osnaburg" category at the same hierarchical level (5209.31.60.25). This distinction is crucial for accurate customs declarations.

The classification criteria focus on the fundamental characteristics of the fabric: its material composition (predominantly cotton), weight (heavyweight), weave structure (plain), and the fact that it has undergone a dyeing process. By excluding Osnaburg, this category captures a broader range of dyed, plain-weave cotton sheeting fabrics that do not fit the particular definition of Osnaburg.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within 5209.31.60.35 relies entirely on meeting all preceding criteria, including the exclusion of Osnaburg. Importers and exporters should ensure that the fabrics in question precisely match the weight, cotton content, weave type, dyeing status, and are not Osnaburg to correctly utilize this classification.
