5210.19.60.20 - Oxford cloth (227)

This HTS category, 5210.19.60.20, specifically classifies unbleached Oxford cloth that meets certain weight and composition criteria. To fall under this heading, the fabric must be woven from cotton, containing less than 85 percent cotton by weight, and mixed predominantly or solely with man-made fibers. Furthermore, the fabric must weigh no more than 200 grams per square meter and be unbleached. Oxford cloth is a distinct textile weave characterized by its basketweave structure, typically with two warp yarns crossing over two weft yarns.

Within this group of "Other fabrics" of woven cotton, this particular classification for Oxford cloth is distinguished from its sibling category, 5210.19.60.90, which covers all other unbleached fabrics meeting the aforementioned weight and composition requirements but not specifically identified as Oxford cloth. Therefore, the key differentiator is the precise weave structure of the fabric.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS system, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level requires careful verification of the fabric's construction (Oxford weave), its unbleached state, its cotton content (less than 85% by weight, mixed with man-made fibers), and its weight per square meter (not exceeding 200 g/m²). Importers and exporters should ensure these specifications are met to correctly classify their goods.
