5209.49.00.90 - Other (218) 🖩

This HTS category, "Other fabrics," under woven cotton fabrics containing 85% or more cotton by weight and exceeding 200 g/m², encompasses a broad range of cotton textiles where the yarns are of different colors but the fabric does not meet the specific criteria for jacquard weaving. These fabrics are characterized by their substantial weight and cotton content, signifying durability and suitability for heavier applications. The classification hinges on the absence of a specific jacquard weave pattern, distinguishing them from other multi-colored woven cottons.

Unlike the sibling category "Jacquard woven," which specifically identifies fabrics with intricate, pre-designed patterns created by the jacquard loom, this "Other" category includes multi-colored woven cottons that are produced through simpler weaving techniques. This means that while both categories involve cotton yarns of different colors and meet the weight and content requirements, the defining factor for inclusion here is the lack of a complex, pattern-driven weave. Examples might include simple striped or checked patterns achieved through standard looms, or fabrics where the color variation is not part of an elaborate design.

As a leaf node within the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories under "Other fabrics." Therefore, the focus for classification purposes is on thoroughly examining the fabric's construction, confirming it is woven, made of cotton (at least 85% by weight), weighs more than 200 g/m², and exhibits yarns of different colors without being classified as jacquard woven. This ensures accurate placement for trade and customs purposes, particularly when the fabric does not fit more specific descriptions.
