5212.15.10 - Containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair

This HTS category, 5212.15.10, specifically classifies printed woven cotton fabrics that weigh no more than 200 grams per square meter and contain 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. These fabrics are distinct from other "other woven fabrics of cotton" due to their specific weight constraint, printed nature, and the significant presence of wool or fine animal hair, which differentiates them from fabrics composed solely of cotton.

While sibling categories at this level, such as 5212.15.60 for "Other," would encompass printed woven cotton fabrics meeting the weight criteria but not the specified wool/fine animal hair content or other specific criteria, this particular subheading focuses on those with a substantial blend. The defining characteristic here is the blend of cotton with wool or fine animal hair, which influences the fabric's properties and subsequent tariff treatment.

Within this printed, relatively lightweight, and blended fabric category, further distinctions are made based on the processing of the cotton component. The subcategories 5212.15.10.10 and 5212.15.10.20 differentiate these fabrics based on whether the cotton fibers are combed or not combed prior to weaving. This distinction in processing can affect the fabric's fineness, strength, and overall appearance, leading to a more granular classification for trade purposes.
