5210.39.40 - Of number 42 or lower number

This HTS classification, 5210.39.40, pertains to dyed, woven fabrics of cotton, weighing not more than 200 g/m², which contain less than 85 percent by weight of cotton and are mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibers. Specifically, this subcategory encompasses fabrics where the yarn used is of a count that falls within the "number 42 or lower number" designation, indicating a coarser thread relative to other categories at this level. These fabrics are not of a specific weave like Oxford cloth but represent a broader grouping of such mixed cotton and synthetic textiles.

This category is distinguished from its siblings by the specific yarn count. 5210.39.60 covers fabrics made with yarn numbered between 43 and 68, indicating finer threads, while 5210.39.80 classifies fabrics utilizing even finer threads, numbered 69 or higher. Therefore, the defining characteristic of 5210.39.40 is its use of relatively coarse yarns within the context of dyed, mixed woven cotton fabrics.

Within this classification, two subcategories exist to further refine the categorization of these fabrics. The subdivision "5210.39.40.20 Oxford cloth (227)" isolates a specific weave known for its distinctive basket weave pattern, typically used in shirting. The remaining fabrics that meet the criteria of 5210.39.40 but are not Oxford cloth are classified under "5210.39.40.90 Other (220)," providing a residual category for all other qualifying dyed, mixed woven cotton fabrics with yarn counts of 42 or lower.
