5212.13.60.60 - Sateens (326)

This HTS classification, 5212.13.60.60, specifically designates sateen fabrics woven from cotton. These fabrics are characterized by their lustrous surface, achieved through a particular weave structure where warp threads float over four or more weft threads, creating a smooth, reflective face. The classification further specifies that these sateens must be other woven fabrics of cotton weighing not more than 200 g/m², and they must be dyed.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 5212.13.60.70 ("Other"), is the explicit mention of "Satin weave or twill weave" for this code, whereas the sibling represents other types of woven structures within the "Other" subcategory. Therefore, 5212.13.60.60 is for cotton sateens that are dyed and weigh less than or equal to 200 g/m², and fall under the satin weave category.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level relies on the precise combination of material (cotton), fabric type (other woven fabrics), weight (not more than 200 g/m²), finishing (dyed), weave structure (satin or twill), and a specific designation for sateens. Importers and exporters must ensure their goods meet all these criteria for accurate declaration.
