5212.22.10 - Containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair

This classification pertains to bleached woven fabrics of cotton that weigh more than 200 grams per square meter and contain 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. These fabrics are characterized by their weight, cotton base, and significant content of wool or fine animal hair, and they have undergone a bleaching process.

The "Other" sibling category, 5212.22.60, encompasses bleached woven cotton fabrics exceeding 200 g/m² that do not meet the specific criterion of containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. Therefore, the defining characteristic of this particular subcategory is the substantial presence of wool or fine animal hair within a cotton fabric base.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist based on the processing of the cotton component. Subcategory 5212.22.10.10 covers fabrics where the cotton has not been combed, while 5212.22.10.20 includes fabrics where the cotton has been combed. This distinction is important for classification as it reflects a difference in the yarn construction and the resulting fabric characteristics.
