Sub-classifications

Overview
This HTS category encompasses woven cotton fabrics, specifically those containing less than 85% cotton by weight and blended predominantly or exclusively with man-made fibers. These fabrics must not exceed 200 grams per square meter in weight. The key defining characteristic of this specific sub-classification is the weave structure: it includes fabrics with a satin weave, as well as twill weaves that are *not* a 3-thread or 4-thread twill, nor a cross twill.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 5210.29.10.00, is crucial. While both fall under "bleached, other fabrics" of cotton, this node explicitly excludes the 3-thread or 4-thread twill weaves, including cross twill, which are assigned to the sibling category. Therefore, if a bleached woven fabric meeting the cotton content and weight criteria exhibits a satin weave or any twill weave *other than* those specifically mentioned in the sibling, it will be classified here.
Within this category, two subcategories further refine the classification. "Sateens" (5210.29.20.20) represent a specific type of satin weave known for its smooth, lustrous surface created by a particular interlacing pattern. The "Other" subcategory (5210.29.20.90) captures all remaining fabrics that meet the primary criteria of this node but do not fit the specific definition of a sateen, ensuring comprehensive coverage for other satin weaves and qualifying twill weaves.
