5211.49.00 - Other fabrics

This HTS classification, 5211.49.00, encompasses woven fabrics of cotton that are mixed primarily or solely with man-made fibers and weigh more than 200 grams per square meter. Crucially, these fabrics must contain less than 85 percent by weight of cotton, distinguishing them from predominantly cotton woven fabrics. The "Other fabrics" description at this level signifies that these fabrics do not fit into the more specific weave types defined by their siblings.

Unlike sibling categories such as 5211.41.00 (Plain weave), 5211.42.00 (Denim), or 5211.43.00 (Other fabrics of 3-thread or 4-thread twill), this category is not defined by a particular weave structure. Instead, it serves as a residual category for woven cotton blends meeting the weight and fiber content criteria but lacking the specific weave patterns of its direct siblings.

Within this category, further subdivision occurs to account for the decorative patterns woven into the fabric. The subcategory 5211.49.00.20 specifically identifies Jacquard woven fabrics, which are characterized by intricate, often complex patterns created by a specialized loom. The remaining goods that do not fall under the Jacquard designation are classified under 5211.49.00.90, encompassing all other types of woven fabrics that meet the overarching criteria of this classification.
