About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS classification covers woven fabrics of cotton that contain less than 85% cotton by weight, primarily blended with man-made fibers. These fabrics weigh more than 200 grams per square meter and are dyed. Crucially, within this category, the fabric must be napped, meaning its surface has been treated to raise a soft, fuzzy nap, creating a plush texture. This napping process is a key characteristic that distinguishes these goods.

The distinction between this classification and its sibling is the napping process. While both are dyed, woven cotton-blend fabrics exceeding 200 g/m², this category specifically includes fabrics where a nap has been intentionally raised on the surface. The sibling category, conversely, refers to similar fabrics that have not undergone this napping treatment.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code is determined by the precise combination of factors: being a woven fabric of cotton with less than 85% cotton by weight, mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibers, weighing over 200 g/m², dyed, and specifically napped. Examples would include flannel-like sheeting or brushed cotton-blend fabrics meeting these weight and composition criteria.
