5210.49.80.90 - Other (218) 🖩

This HTS classification, 5210.49.80.90, pertains to woven fabrics of cotton that are not predominantly cotton by weight. Specifically, these fabrics contain less than 85 percent cotton by weight, with the primary admixture being man-made fibers. Furthermore, they must weigh no more than 200 grams per square meter. The "Other (218)" designation indicates that these fabrics fall into a residual category within the "Other fabrics" subdivision, meaning they do not meet the specific criteria for other, more narrowly defined subcategories at this level.

The primary distinguishing factor for this category is its exclusion of fabrics classified under sibling code 5210.49.80.20, which specifically covers jacquard woven fabrics. Therefore, fabrics classified here are not produced using the jacquard weaving technique, which typically creates intricate patterns. This category encompasses a broad range of woven cotton blends that do not fit into more specialized descriptions within the chapter.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 5210.49.80.90 is determined by the absence of specific weaving patterns like jacquard and the fulfillment of the broader criteria for cotton fabrics weighing not more than 200 g/m² and containing less than 85 percent cotton, mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibers. Importers and exporters should focus on the material composition, weight, and the absence of specialized weaving techniques when making classifications within this sub-heading.
