Overview
This HTS category, 5211.51.00.50, specifically classifies woven fabrics of cotton that contain less than 85 percent by weight of cotton, are mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibers, weigh more than 200 grams per square meter, and are printed and of a plain weave, specifically characterized by being napped. The "napped" designation signifies a finishing process where the surface fibers of the fabric have been raised to create a soft, fuzzy texture.
It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, 5211.51.00.30, which covers similar fabrics but are explicitly "not napped." The presence or absence of the napping process is the defining characteristic that separates these two classifications. Both fall under the broader umbrella of printed, plain weave sheeting fabrics weighing over 200 g/m² and primarily mixed with man-made fibers.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 5211.51.00.50. Therefore, classification into this specific code relies entirely on meeting all the preceding criteria: being a woven fabric of cotton with less than 85% cotton content mixed with man-made fibers, weighing over 200 g/m², printed, of a plain weave, and importantly, exhibiting the characteristic napped finish.
