5210.59.20.20 - Sateens (326)

This HTS category, 5210.59.20.20, specifically classifies sateen woven fabrics of cotton. These fabrics are characterized by their smooth, lustrous surface, achieved through a specific weaving structure where warp threads float over four or more weft threads. Crucially, these sateens must contain less than 85 percent by weight of cotton and be mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibers. Additionally, the fabric's weight must not exceed 200 grams per square meter, and they are printed.

The primary distinction of this category from its sibling, 5210.59.20.90, lies in the weave structure. While both fall under "Other fabrics" within the printed, mixed cotton/man-made fiber category, this node exclusively covers fabrics with a satin weave. The sibling category, "Other," would encompass printed fabrics meeting all other criteria but featuring weaves *other than* satin or specific twill variations.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification to this specific code is determined by the cumulative criteria: cotton content less than 85%, primary blend with man-made fibers, weight not exceeding 200 g/m², printed, and a satin weave construction. Examples of goods that would fall here include printed cotton sateen linings for apparel or home furnishings, provided they meet all specified material and weight requirements.
