5210.19.20.90 - Other (317) 🖩

This HTS classification, 5210.19.20.90, encompasses woven cotton fabrics that are unbleached and fall into the "other fabrics" category within the broader scope of fabrics weighing not more than 200 g/m² and containing less than 85% cotton, mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibers. Specifically, this code applies to fabrics that are not satin weave, nor 3-thread or 4-thread twill, nor cross twill weaves. The term "other" here signifies that these fabrics do not fit into the more specific weave structures defined within the same level of classification.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 5210.19.20.20, is crucial. The sibling classification specifically covers "Sateens," which are characterized by a particular type of weave that creates a smooth, lustrous surface due to a specific interlacing pattern. Fabrics classified under 5210.19.20.90, on the other hand, are those woven cotton fabrics meeting the material and weight criteria but *not* exhibiting the distinct characteristics of a sateen weave or the other explicitly mentioned twill weaves.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under this code is on the precise definition of the weaves excluded by this category (sateen, 3-thread twill, 4-thread twill, and cross twill) and the confirmation that the fabric meets all other preceding criteria related to cotton content, weight, and unbleached state. Practical examples might include certain types of plain weave or basket weave cotton blends that do not fall into the more specialized weave types.
