5210.59 - Other fabrics:

This HTS category, 5210.59, encompasses "Other fabrics" within the broader classification of woven cotton fabrics. Specifically, it pertains to woven fabrics of cotton that contain less than 85 percent by weight of cotton, are mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibers, and weigh no more than 200 g/m². The crucial defining factor for this subcategory is that the fabric is not classified under the "Plain weave" designation.

Within the context of woven cotton fabrics meeting the material and weight specifications, 5210.59 distinguishes itself from its sibling category, 5210.51 (Plain weave), by excluding fabrics with a simple interlacing of warp and weft threads where each warp thread passes over one weft thread and under the next, and vice versa. Instead, this category is reserved for fabrics with more complex weave structures that do not fall into the plain weave definition.

The subcategories under 5210.59 further refine the classification based on specific weave patterns. 5210.59.10.00, for instance, specifically addresses 3-thread or 4-thread twill, including cross twill. 5210.59.20 then moves to satin weaves or twill weaves that are distinct from the aforementioned 3-thread or 4-thread twill. The remaining "Other" designation within this level will capture any woven cotton fabrics meeting the general criteria but not conforming to the more specific weave structures detailed in the preceding subcategories, ensuring comprehensive coverage for these mixed-fiber woven materials.
