Overview

This HTS classification, 5210.59.40.20, specifically covers Oxford cloth made from cotton. To fall within this designation, the fabric must contain less than 85 percent by weight of cotton, with other fibers being primarily man-made. Additionally, the fabric must not exceed 200 grams per square meter in weight. This category is reserved for Oxford cloth that has been printed and is not classified under other specific categories within the "Other fabrics" subdivision.

Distinguishing this classification from its sibling, 5210.59.40.90 ("Other"), is crucial. While both are printed woven cotton fabrics of a similar composition and weight, 5210.59.40.20 is specifically for Oxford cloth that meets the "of number 42 or lower number" criteria. This refers to the yarn count or thread count of the fabric, indicating a finer weave or construction compared to other printed fabrics within the broader category.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the focus remains on the precise characteristics that define Oxford cloth for this classification. The "of number 42 or lower number" criterion is the final distinguishing factor at this level, differentiating it from other printed, non-cotton-dominant, light-weight woven cotton fabrics.
