5210.21.60 - Of numbers 43 to 68

This HTS category, 5210.21.60, specifically covers plain weave woven fabrics of cotton that are bleached. These fabrics contain less than 85 percent by weight of cotton, with the primary admixture being man-made fibers. Furthermore, the weight of these fabrics does not exceed 200 grams per square meter. The "Of numbers 43 to 68" descriptor within the description relates to specific yarn counts or constructions not explicitly detailed at this sub-heading level but is a key differentiator for inclusion in this particular node.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 5210.21.40 and 5210.21.80, hinges on the yarn count or number. 5210.21.40 applies to fabrics with yarn counts of 42 or lower, while 5210.21.80 is for fabrics with yarn counts of 69 or higher. Category 5210.21.60, therefore, specifically encompasses those plain weave, bleached cotton blend fabrics falling within the yarn count range of 43 through 68.

The subcategories within 5210.21.60 further refine the classification based on specific weave constructions and common trade names. These subdivisions include Poplin or broadcloth, Sheeting, Printcloth, and Cheesecloth. This granular breakdown allows for precise identification and distinct tariff treatment based on the distinct characteristics and intended uses of these commonly traded fabric types within the specified yarn count and weight parameters.
