5211.51.00 - Plain weave

This HTS category, 5211.51.00, specifically classifies printed woven fabrics of cotton that contain less than 85 percent by weight of cotton, are mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibers, and weigh more than 200 g/m². The key characteristic here is the "plain weave" construction.

Distinguishing this from its siblings, 5211.52.00 covers printed fabrics with a "3-thread or 4-thread twill, including cross twill" weave, and 5211.59.00 encompasses all other printed fabrics within this general group that do not meet the plain weave or specific twill weave descriptions. Therefore, the defining feature of 5211.51.00 is its plain woven structure, distinct from the diagonal patterns of twill weaves or the "other" residual categories.

Within 5211.51.00, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification based on specific types of plain weave fabrics. These subcategories include Poplin or broadcloth (5211.51.00.20) and Plain weave duck (5211.51.00.90). These distinctions allow for more precise identification of commonly recognized types of printed cotton-blend fabrics that fit the general plain weave criteria.
