5209.51.60.25 - Other (314) 🖩

This HTS category, 5209.51.60.25, specifically classifies woven fabrics of cotton that meet stringent material and weight requirements. The fabric must contain 85 percent or more by weight of cotton and have a weight exceeding 200 grams per square meter. Within the subcategory of printed fabrics and specifically those in a plain weave, this code applies to poplin or broadcloth constructions that do not fall under discharge printing.

The distinction from the sibling category 5209.51.60.15 lies in the printing method. While both are printed plain weave poplin or broadcloth fabrics of cotton over 200 g/m², this code excludes fabrics that have undergone a discharge printing process. Discharge printing involves removing color from a dyed fabric to create a pattern, a specific technique not covered here.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is finalized at this level based on the fabric's composition, weight, weave type, and the absence of discharge printing. Examples of goods that would fall into this category include heavier weight cotton poplin or broadcloth used for durable apparel, home furnishings, or industrial textiles where a printed pattern is applied through methods other than discharge printing.
