5212.21.60.90 - Other (220)

This classification, HTS 5212.21.60.90, encompasses "Other" woven fabrics of cotton that weigh more than 200 g/m², are unbleached, and do not fall into the more specifically defined categories at this level. It serves as a residual classification for unbleached, heavier cotton wovens that do not conform to the descriptions of poplin, broadcloth, sheeting, or duck. The key criteria for inclusion here are the material (cotton), the weight (over 200 g/m²), and its unbleached state, along with a weave structure not otherwise specified.

The distinction from sibling categories is critical for accurate classification. HTS 5212.21.60.20 specifically covers poplin or broadcloth, characterized by a plain weave and fine, dense construction. HTS 5212.21.60.30 is reserved for sheeting, typically a plain weave fabric known for its durability and use in bedding. HTS 5212.21.60.40 identifies duck, a strong, plain-weave fabric with a characteristic warp and weft construction often used for heavy-duty applications. Fabrics falling under 5212.21.60.90 would have different weave structures or specific constructions that differentiate them from these established categories, while still meeting the weight and material requirements.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the focus for this classification is on ensuring that any unbleached, heavier woven cotton fabric that does not fit the more specific descriptions of poplin, broadcloth, sheeting, or duck is correctly classified here, adhering strictly to the weight and unbleached condition parameters.
