5210.49.80 - Of number 69 or higher number

This HTS category, 5210.49.80, classifies woven fabrics of cotton that contain less than 85 percent cotton by weight, are mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibers, and weigh no more than 200 g/m². Specifically, this subheading applies to such fabrics where the yarns used, regardless of color, are of a specified count or higher. The "Of number 69 or higher number" designation refers to the yarn count system, indicating coarser yarns are used in the construction of these fabrics.

This classification is distinguished from its siblings, 5210.49.40 and 5210.49.60, by the yarn count. While 5210.49.40 covers fabrics made with yarns of number 42 or lower (finer yarns), and 5210.49.60 covers yarns numbered 43 to 68, this subheading exclusively deals with fabrics constructed from yarns of number 69 and above (coarser yarns). This distinction in yarn fineness is a critical determinant for proper classification within this group.

The subcategories 5210.49.80.20 and 5210.49.80.90 further refine the classification based on the fabric's weave structure. 5210.49.80.20 specifically addresses Jacquard woven fabrics, which are characterized by intricate patterns created by a specialized loom mechanism. The residual category, 5210.49.80.90, encompasses all other woven fabric constructions not meeting the Jacquard specification within this yarn count range.
