Overview
This category, HTS Code 5209.41.60, falls under woven fabrics of cotton, specifically those containing 85 percent or more cotton by weight and exceeding 200 grams per square meter. Within this, it further specifies fabrics woven from yarns of different colors in a plain weave construction. This classification is intended for the precise identification of such cotton fabrics that do not fit into more specific categories at the same level.
The primary distinction for this node lies in its direct opposition to its sibling category, 5209.41.30.00, which is reserved for certified hand-loomed fabrics. Therefore, this classification 5209.41.60 is applicable to machine-produced woven cotton fabrics of the specified construction, excluding those with the "certified hand-loomed" designation.
This classification is further subdivided to differentiate based on whether the fabric has been napped or not. The subcategories 5209.41.60.20 ("Not napped") and 5209.41.60.40 ("Napped") allow for a more granular distinction based on the finishing treatment applied to the fabric, which can affect its texture, appearance, and intended use.
