5210.59.20.90 - Other (317)

This HTS category, 5210.59.20.90, specifically encompasses printed woven cotton fabrics that contain less than 85 percent by weight of cotton, are predominantly mixed with man-made fibers, and do not exceed 200 g/m² in weight. These fabrics are characterized by a satin weave or a twill weave, but are distinguished from other twill weaves such as 3-thread or 4-thread twill or cross twill, which are classified elsewhere. The "Other" designation indicates that these fabrics do not fit into more specific sub-classifications within this printed, non-sateen weave category.

To further define this classification, consider it the catch-all for printed, light to medium-weight cotton-blend fabrics utilizing a satin or specific twill weave that aren't sateens. The crucial differentiating factor from its sibling category, 5210.59.20.20 (Sateens), lies in the weave construction. While sateens are known for their characteristic smooth surface achieved through a specific interlacing pattern, this category covers other satin or twill weaves that do not meet the definition of a sateen.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification within 5210.59.20.90 is determined by the presence of a satin or twill weave (excluding the specifically excluded twills), the printed nature of the fabric, its cotton content (less than 85%), the primary blend fiber (man-made), and its weight. Importers and exporters should carefully examine the weave structure and confirm the fiber composition and weight to ensure accurate classification.
