5210.59.80.20 - Oxford cloth (227)

This HTS subcategory, 5210.59.80.20, specifically covers Oxford cloth, characterized by its distinctive basket weave construction. Within the broader classification of woven cotton fabrics weighing not more than 200 g/m² and mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibers, this code pertains to fabrics that are printed and fall under the "Other fabrics" and "Other" classifications. The "Of number 69 or higher number" designation further refines the classification by specifying the yarn count or denier of the fibers used in its construction, typically indicating finer yarns.

The primary distinction from its sibling category, 5210.59.80.90 (Other), lies in the specific identification of "Oxford cloth" for this code. While both fall under similar broad material and weight parameters, the 5210.59.80.20 code is reserved for this particular weave and style of fabric. This level of specificity is crucial for accurate tariff application, ensuring that a recognizable textile type is correctly categorized rather than being lumped into a more general "Other" designation.

As a leaf node in the HTS classification, 5210.59.80.20 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under this code is on confirming that the fabric meets all the preceding criteria: it is a woven fabric of cotton containing less than 85% cotton by weight, mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibers, weighs no more than 200 g/m², is printed, falls under the general "Other fabrics" and "Other" headings, and is of a yarn count or denier corresponding to "number 69 or higher." The unique weave structure and common textile use of Oxford cloth are the defining characteristics for this specific classification.
