About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS classification, 5212.12.60.90, encompasses other woven fabrics of cotton that are bleached, weigh not more than 200 g/m², and do not fall under more specific weave types like poplin, broadcloth, sheeting, printcloth, cheesecloth, lawns, voiles, or batistes, nor under satin weave or twill weave. The "Other" designation signifies fabrics with a unique construction or weave pattern that deviates from these specifically enumerated categories within this sub-heading.

The key distinguishing factor for this classification is the absence of a defined weave type that matches the specific examples provided at the same level. For instance, while other categories delineate specific weaves such as satin or twill, or fabric types like poplin, this sub-category serves as a residual classification for bleached cotton fabrics meeting the weight and material criteria but possessing a weave that is not otherwise classified.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges entirely on the precise characteristics of the woven cotton fabric. Importers and exporters should meticulously examine the weave structure and ensure it does not align with any of the more detailed sibling categories before assigning goods to this residual "Other" classification. The fabric's bleached state and weight are critical prerequisites that must be met.
