5209.59.00.40 - Other (317) 🖩

This classification pertains to printed woven fabrics of cotton that contain 85 percent or more by weight of cotton and weigh more than 200 g/m². Specifically, it encompasses printed cotton fabrics where the weave is neither a sateen nor a twill weave. The "other" designation signifies that these fabrics do not fit into the more specific weave structures defined at this level, implying a broader range of non-sateen, non-twill printed cotton constructions.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, "Sateens," is crucial. Sateen weaves, characterized by their smooth, lustrous appearance and the way warp threads float over filling yarns, are excluded from this classification. Similarly, twill weaves, recognized by diagonal parallel ridges, are also not included here. Therefore, fabrics classified under this node will exhibit printed designs on cotton material meeting the weight and cotton content criteria, but with a weave structure that is distinct from the characteristic sateen and twill constructions.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under HTS 5209.59.00.40. Classification within this category is based on the absence of a sateen or twill weave, combined with the established criteria of printed cotton fabric weighing over 200 g/m² and containing at least 85% cotton by weight. Examples might include printed cotton fabrics with plain weaves, basket weaves, or other non-specific woven structures that are not explicitly defined as sateen or twill.
