Overview

This HTS classification, 5211.42.00.60, specifically covers denim woven fabrics made from cotton, where the cotton content is less than 85% by weight and is mixed with man-made fibers. Crucially, these fabrics must weigh more than 200 g/m² but not exceed 360 g/m². The defining characteristic of this category is that the yarns used in the weaving process are of different colors, contributing to the distinct visual pattern of the denim.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 5211.42.00.80, solely by the weight of the fabric. While both cover denim made with less than 85% cotton and yarns of different colors, this specific classification applies to fabrics weighing *not more than* 360 g/m². The sibling category encompasses denim fabrics weighing *more than* 360 g/m². Both fall under the broader umbrella of woven cotton fabrics containing less than 85% cotton, mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibers, and weighing over 200 g/m².

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 5211.42.00.60 relies on the precise determination of the fabric's weight (between 200.1 g/m² and 360 g/m²), confirmation of cotton as the primary component by weight (though less than 85%), the presence of man-made fiber blends, and the use of yarns of different colors in its construction.
