5212.12.60 - Other

This HTS category, 5212.12.60, encompasses "Other" woven fabrics of cotton that are bleached, weigh not more than 200 g/m², and are not classified under the preceding specific subheadings at this level. This classification acts as a residual category for bleached cotton fabrics falling within the defined weight parameters, after more specific compositions have been accounted for.

Crucially, this category differentiates itself from its sibling, 5212.12.10, which specifically covers woven cotton fabrics containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. Therefore, 5212.12.60 is reserved for bleached woven cotton fabrics that either contain no wool or fine animal hair, or contain less than the 36 percent threshold specified in the sibling category. The primary distinguishing factor is the presence and proportion of other fibers, particularly wool and fine animal hair.

The subcategories within 5212.12.60 further refine the classification based on the presence of other specific fibers. The subheading 5212.12.60.10 addresses fabrics mixed mainly or solely with wool or fine animal hair. The remaining residual classification, represented by the ellipsis, will cover all other bleached woven cotton fabrics of this weight class that do not fall into the mixed wool or fine animal hair subcategory, ensuring comprehensive coverage of all eligible cotton woven fabrics.
