5212.14.10.10 - Not combed (410)

This HTS category, 5212.14.10.10, specifically classifies "other woven fabrics of cotton" that weigh no more than 200 g/m² and are constructed from yarns of different colors. Critically, these fabrics must contain 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. This means that while the fabric is predominantly cotton, a significant proportion of its weight is derived from wool or similar animal fibers. The "not combed" designation in the official description is a key physical characteristic that helps define the structure of the cotton yarns used in its construction.

This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling category, 5212.14.10.20 ("Combed"), based on the processing of the cotton yarns. The "not combed" fabrics within this category utilize cotton yarns that have not undergone the combing process. Combing is a mechanical process that aligns cotton fibers, removing shorter fibers and impurities, resulting in smoother, stronger, and finer yarns. Therefore, fabrics classified under 5212.14.10.10 will typically exhibit a less refined yarn structure compared to those in the "combed" sibling category.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification under this heading is therefore determined by meeting all the preceding criteria: being an "other woven fabric of cotton," weighing not more than 200 g/m², made from yarns of different colors, and containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair, with the specific characteristic of employing "not combed" cotton yarns.
