5211.20.29 - Other fabrics

This category, HTS 5211.20.29, encompasses "other fabrics" within the broader classification of woven fabrics of cotton. Specifically, it pertains to fabrics that contain less than 85 percent by weight of cotton, are primarily mixed with man-made fibers, and exceed a weight of 200 grams per square meter. The key distinguishing feature of this HTS code is that it captures woven cotton blends that are bleached and do not fall under the more specific weave types defined by its sibling categories.

The sibling categories, 5211.20.21 and 5211.20.22, distinguish themselves by their specific weave structures. 5211.20.21 is reserved for plain weave fabrics, while 5211.20.22 covers 3-thread or 4-thread twill weaves. Therefore, HTS 5211.20.29 serves as a residual classification for bleached woven cotton blends meeting the specified weight and fiber content criteria, but exhibiting weaves other than plain, 3-thread, or 4-thread twill.

The subcategories within 5211.20.29 further refine this classification based on the weave. 5211.20.29.60 specifically identifies "Duck, except plain weave," indicating a heavier, closely woven fabric with a distinct appearance. The remaining category, 5211.20.29.90, is designated for "Other" bleached woven cotton blends that fit the general criteria but do not conform to the specific weave types of duck or the excluded twill and plain weaves. This hierarchical structure ensures precise classification of a wide array of woven cotton blended fabrics.
