5211.20.29.20 - Sateens (326)

This HTS category, 5211.20.29.20, specifically covers sateen woven fabrics of cotton. To fall within this classification, the fabric must contain less than 85 percent by weight of cotton, with the primary admixture being man-made fibers, and it must weigh more than 200 grams per square meter. Furthermore, these sateens must be bleached and are classified under "other fabrics" within the broader satin or twill weave category.

The defining characteristic of this classification is the satin weave construction. Unlike its sibling category, 5211.20.29.40, which is designated for "Other" fabrics (implying different weaves or constructions within the broader scope), this node is exclusively for sateens. This distinction emphasizes the specific surface appearance and hand derived from the characteristic interlacing pattern of satin weaves.

As a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 5211.20.29.20. This means that once a fabric meets all the preceding criteria (cotton content, weight, bleaching, and satin weave), it is definitively classified here. Practical classification will hinge on confirming the weave structure and the fiber composition percentages to ensure it aligns with the specific definition of sateen and the stipulated cotton weight threshold.
