5211.59.00.60 - Duck, except plain weave (219)

This HTS classification, 5211.59.00.60, specifically covers duck fabrics made from cotton that are not of a plain weave construction. These fabrics are characterized by containing less than 85% cotton by weight, with the remainder being primarily man-made fibers. Furthermore, these textiles must weigh more than 200 grams per square meter and feature printed designs. The "duck" designation refers to a sturdy, closely woven fabric, and the exclusion of "plain weave" indicates that twill or satin weaves, among others, are intended here.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, the "Satin weave or twill weave" category encompasses duck fabrics of the same material composition and weight but with those specific weave structures. The "Other (220)" sibling category acts as a residual for printed duck fabrics that do not fit into the satin or twill weave descriptions, suggesting a broader range of non-plain weaves might exist within that.

As this node represents a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification into this specific code hinges on meeting all the defined criteria: being a printed duck fabric, not of a plain weave, containing less than 85% cotton mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibers, and weighing over 200 g/m². For practical classification, customs officers will examine the weave pattern, the fiber content by weight, and the printing application to ensure accurate categorization.
