5211.42.00.80 - Weighing more than 360 g/m² (218)

This HTS classification, 5211.42.00.80, specifically covers denim fabrics woven from cotton, where the cotton content is less than 85% by weight, and is mixed primarily with man-made fibers. A key defining characteristic of this category is that the fabric weighs **more than 360 grams per square meter**. This weight threshold is crucial for distinguishing it from other denim fabrics within the same broader classification.

The distinction from its sibling category, 5211.42.00.60, rests entirely on the fabric's weight. While both classifications pertain to denim woven with less than 85% cotton and mixed with man-made fibers, 5211.42.00.60 applies to denim weighing **not more than 360 grams per square meter**. Therefore, the operative criterion for choosing between these two subcategories is the precise weight measurement of the fabric.

As this classification represents a leaf node in the HTS system, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is definitive for denim meeting the specified cotton content, man-made fiber mix, and the weight criterion of exceeding 360 grams per square meter. Examples of such goods would include heavy-duty denim intended for workwear, upholstery, or other applications requiring robust textile materials.
