5212.13.10 - Containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair

This HTS category, 5212.13.10, classifies woven fabrics of cotton that are dyed and weigh no more than 200 grams per square meter. Crucially, these fabrics must contain 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. This blend of cotton with animal fibers distinguishes these fabrics from pure cotton woven goods, while their weight and dyed status narrow the scope further.

Within the "Dyed" sub-branch of "Weighing not more than 200 g/m²" cotton fabrics, this specific code differentiates based on the processing of the cotton component. The sibling category, 5212.13.60, encompasses "Other" dyed woven fabrics of cotton weighing not more than 200 g/m² that do not meet the 36% wool or fine animal hair requirement.

The subcategories under 5212.13.10 further refine the classification based on the preparation of the cotton yarn. The designation "Not combed" (5212.13.10.10) applies to fabrics where the cotton fibers have not undergone a combing process, resulting in a potentially less uniform yarn. Conversely, "Combed" (5212.13.10.20) indicates that the cotton component has been combed, leading to longer, more parallel fibers and generally a smoother, higher-quality yarn used in the fabric construction.
