5211.41.00.20 - Not napped (218) 🖩

This HTS category, specifically 5211.41.00.20, pertains to woven fabrics of cotton that meet specific criteria. These fabrics contain less than 85 percent by weight of cotton, with the remainder being primarily man-made fibers. Furthermore, the fabric must weigh more than 200 grams per square meter and be constructed using yarns of different colors. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is that the fabric is "not napped," meaning its surface has not undergone a process to raise the fibers, resulting in a smoother finish.

The primary distinction of this category lies in its "not napped" characteristic. Its sibling category, 5211.41.00.40, covers identical fabrics except that its surface has been napped, creating a softer, fuzzier texture. Both categories fall under the broader classification of woven cotton fabrics of different colored yarns, weighing over 200 g/m², and mixed with man-made fibers. This distinction is crucial for customs purposes as it reflects a different finishing process, which can impact fabric appearance, feel, and potential end-use.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification ends at this level based on the combination of material composition, weight, yarn color variation, weave type, and the absence of a napping process. This precise specification ensures accurate identification and duty assessment for these particular woven cotton-blend fabrics.
