5210.41.40.00 - Of number 42 or lower number (218)

This HTS classification, 5210.41.40.00, pertains to woven fabrics of cotton that contain less than 85 percent by weight of cotton, are primarily mixed with man-made fibers, and weigh no more than 200 grams per square meter. Specifically, this category covers fabrics classified by yarn number as being of "number 42 or lower number." This designation refers to the fineness or coarseness of the yarn used in the fabric's construction, with lower numbers indicating coarser yarns.

The key distinguishing factor for this category lies in the specific yarn count. It differentiates itself from sibling categories, 5210.41.60.00 (yarn numbers 43 to 68) and 5210.41.80.00 (yarn numbers 69 or higher), by exclusively encompassing fabrics woven from yarns falling within the coarser range of the specified numerical system. Therefore, a meticulous examination of the yarn number used in the cotton blend is critical for accurate classification.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 5210.41.40.00 is definitive based on the fabric's cotton content, fiber blend, weight, weave, color composition of yarns, and the precise yarn number of the threads employed. Importers and exporters should ensure that all these criteria are met before assigning this HTS code.
