5209.39.00 - Other fabrics

This HTS category, 5209.39.00, encompasses dyed woven fabrics of cotton that contain 85 percent or more by weight of cotton and weigh more than 200 grams per square meter, but do not fall under the specific weave structures defined in its sibling categories. Unlike 5209.31, which is exclusively for plain weave fabrics, and 5209.32.00, designated for 3-thread or 4-thread twill weaves, this category captures other dyed cotton fabrics meeting the weight and cotton content criteria.

The distinction lies in the weave pattern. While plain weave is characterized by a simple interlacing of warp and weft threads, and twill weave exhibits a diagonal pattern, this classification serves as a residual category for dyed cotton fabrics of the specified weight that utilize other weave structures or combinations thereof, as long as they meet the 85% cotton threshold.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine classification. Subcategories such as "Duck, except plain weave" (5209.39.00.60) specifically identify a type of strong, closely woven fabric, typically used for durable goods, which would otherwise fall under this broader classification. The "Other" subcategory serves to capture any remaining dyed cotton fabrics that meet the general criteria but do not fit into more specific weave-defined subheadings.
