5209.41.60.20 - Not napped (218) 🖩

This HTS category, 5209.41.60.20, covers woven fabrics of cotton that contain 85 percent or more by weight of cotton and weigh more than 200 grams per square meter. Specifically, it applies to fabrics where the yarns are of different colors, woven in a plain weave construction. The defining characteristic of this classification is that the fabric is *not napped*, meaning the surface has not undergone a process to raise a soft nap of fibers.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 5209.41.60.40, which covers similar cotton woven fabrics of different colored yarns in a plain weave and weighing over 200 g/m², but *are napped*. The presence or absence of a napped surface is the critical differentiator between these two subheadings.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 5209.41.60.20. Classification stops at this level, with the determination resting on the fabric's composition (over 85% cotton), weight (over 200 g/m²), weave (plain), yarn coloration (different colors), and surface treatment (not napped). Examples of goods that would fall here include certain types of unfinished cotton sheeting, canvas, or twill weaves where distinct yarn colors create the pattern, and the fabric surface remains smooth.
