Overview
This classification, HTS Code 5211.39.00, encompasses dyed woven fabrics of cotton that are mixed with man-made fibers, containing less than 85 percent cotton by weight, and exceeding 200 grams per square meter. The "Other fabrics" description indicates that these are dyed cotton blends not specifically categorized by weave in preceding subheadings within 5211.39.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 5211.31.00 (Plain weave) and 5211.32.00 (3-thread or 4-thread twill, including cross twill), is crucial. This subheading applies to dyed cotton-blend fabrics whose weave structure is neither plain nor a specific type of twill as defined in those sibling categories. The key differentiator here is the weave type; if the fabric's construction does not fit the detailed descriptions of plain or specific twill weaves, it falls into this residual "other" category for dyed fabrics.
Within this category, further distinctions are made based on specific weave types that are not plain or the aforementioned twills, as well as a general "other" classification. The subcategories, 5211.39.00.60 (Duck, except plain weave) and 5211.39.00.90 (Other), allow for more granular classification. "Duck" fabrics, known for their strong, plain weaves but often having a specific dense characteristic, are explicitly called out if they are not plain weave. The residual "Other" subheading captures any remaining dyed woven cotton-blend fabrics meeting the weight and fiber content criteria that do not fall into the duck classification or any other specifically enumerated weave types at this level.
