5211.59.00 - Other fabrics

This HTS category, 5211.59.00, covers printed woven fabrics of cotton that contain less than 85 percent by weight of cotton, primarily mixed with man-made fibers. These fabrics must weigh more than 200 grams per square meter and are distinguished by their printed patterns. The "Other fabrics" description within this specific code signifies that it captures printed cotton-blend fabrics that do not fall under more specific weave types at this level.

Unlike its sibling categories, 5211.51.00 (Plain weave) and 5211.52.00 (3-thread or 4-thread twill, including cross twill), this category is not defined by the weave construction itself but rather by the presence of a printed design and the absence of specific weave types detailed in the siblings. Therefore, if a printed woven fabric of cotton and man-made fibers, weighing over 200 g/m², has a weave that is neither a plain weave nor a specific twill weave as defined in the siblings, it would likely fall under this category.

Within this HTS code, further distinctions are made based on specific fabric types or construction. The subcategories, 5211.59.00.60 and 5211.59.00.90, allow for more granular classification. Specifically, 5211.59.00.60 is for duck fabrics (excluding plain weave), which are typically characterized by a dense weave and robustness. The remaining printed cotton-blend fabrics not fitting the duck specification are then categorized under 5211.59.00.90, encompassing a broader range of "Other" printed woven fabrics that meet the general criteria of this code.
