5212.21.60 - Other

This category, HTS 5212.21.60, classifies "Other" woven fabrics of cotton that weigh more than 200 g/m², are unbleached, and are not covered by sibling categories. It specifically targets cotton fabrics that do not fall into more narrowly defined classifications within the "Unbleached" sub-heading, ensuring a comprehensive catch-all for relevant cotton textiles.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 5212.21.10, is crucial. While 5212.21.10 specifically addresses woven cotton fabrics containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair, HTS 5212.21.60 encompasses all other unbleached, heavy cotton woven fabrics that do not meet this wool/fine animal hair threshold. The primary differentiator is the composition of the fabric, with this category focusing on fabrics that are predominantly cotton or where other fibers, if present, do not constitute the specified percentage of wool or fine animal hair.

This category serves as a parent to further subdivisions, indicated by the presence of subcategories. The existing subcategory 5212.21.60.10 focuses on fabrics "Mixed mainly or solely with wool or fine animal hair," providing a specific classification for those blends that are not exclusively cotton but still fit within the broader "Other" designation. The subsequent "Other" subcategory indicates that there are further, more granular distinctions to be made within this classification, likely based on other defining characteristics not specified at this level.
