5210.39.20 - Satin weave or twill weave

This HTS category, 5210.39.20, encompasses dyed woven fabrics of cotton that contain less than 85 percent by weight of cotton and are mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibers. These fabrics must also weigh not more than 200 g/m². The defining characteristic for this specific sub-classification is the weave structure: satin weave or twill weave. These weaves are distinguished by their specific interlacing patterns, which create distinct surface textures and fabric properties.

Within the broader group of "Other fabrics" (dyed, containing less than 85% cotton, mixed with man-made fibers, weighing not more than 200 g/m²), this category specifically addresses those fabrics where the weave is neither a plain weave nor a specific weave type that might fall under a different classification. The sibling category "Other" at this level would capture fabrics with different weave types not explicitly defined elsewhere.

The subdivisions within this category, 5210.39.20.20 and 5210.39.20.90, further refine the classification based on the specific type of satin or twill weave. The first subcategory, "Sateens," specifically identifies fabrics with a sateen weave, a type of satin weave known for its smooth, lustrous surface. The second subcategory, "Other," covers all other satin and twill weaves not classified as sateens, allowing for a comprehensive classification of the diverse range of satin and twill weave fabrics falling under this code.
