Overview
This HTS category, 5212.11.60, encompasses "Other" woven fabrics of cotton that are unbleached and weigh no more than 200 grams per square meter. This classification acts as a residual category for cotton woven fabrics that meet the weight and unbleached criteria but do not fall under more specific sub-classifications within this particular tariff line. The primary characteristic is that they are woven cotton fabrics, a foundational textile material, and they are presented in their natural, undyed state.
To distinguish this category from its sibling, 5212.11.10, it is important to note that 5212.11.10 specifically covers woven cotton fabrics that contain 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. Therefore, 5212.11.60 applies to unbleached, lightweight woven cotton fabrics that are *pure* cotton or contain negligible amounts of other fibers that do not meet the 36% threshold for wool or fine animal hair.
The subcategories under 5212.11.60 further refine the classification of these remaining unbleached cotton woven fabrics. The first subcategory, 5212.11.60.10, addresses fabrics that are mixed mainly or solely with wool or fine animal hair. The subsequent "Other" subcategory (which appears to be an implied subdivision, as indicated by the blank entry) would then cover pure cotton woven fabrics that meet the overarching criteria of being unbleached, weighing not more than 200 g/m², and not falling into the specific mixed-fiber exception. This structure allows for precise tariff assignment based on the precise composition of the woven cotton fabric.
