5212.11.10.10 - Not combed (410)

This HTS classification, 5212.11.10.10, specifically covers unbleached woven fabrics of cotton that do not weigh more than 200 grams per square meter. The defining characteristic of this category is that the cotton fibers used in the fabric have not undergone the combing process. This means the yarns are made from fibers that have been carded but not further refined to remove shorter staple lengths, resulting in a fabric with potentially a slightly rougher texture and less uniformity compared to combed cotton.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 5212.11.10.20, by the presence or absence of the combing process. While both are unbleached woven cotton fabrics under 200 g/m², the sibling category specifically covers "combed" fabrics. The key differentiator for 5212.11.10.10 is the "not combed" attribute, directly impacting the physical properties and potentially the end-use applications of the textile.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification is precise and relies on the unbleached state, the specific weight threshold (not more than 200 g/m²), the cotton composition, and the critical factor of whether the cotton fibers were combed prior to yarn spinning. This level of detail ensures accurate customs reporting for uncombed, unbleached, lightweight woven cotton fabrics.
