5212.22.60.60 - Other (317) 🖩

This HTS classification, 5212.22.60.60, covers specific types of woven cotton fabrics that do not fall into more precisely defined categories at this level. These are "other" woven cotton fabrics that are heavier than 200 g/m², have been bleached, and are not of a sateen weave. The defining characteristic here is the absence of a sateen weave structure, which is explicitly addressed by the sibling category.

To differentiate this classification from its sibling, 5212.22.60.50 (Sateens), it is crucial to identify the weave structure. Fabrics classified under 5212.22.60.60 will not exhibit the characteristic smooth surface and lustrous finish typically achieved by a sateen weave, which involves a specific interlacing pattern where warp or weft yarns float over a greater number of filling yarns than in plain or twill weaves.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, proper classification under 5212.22.60.60 relies on confirming that the fabric is woven cotton, exceeds 200 g/m², is bleached, and importantly, does not conform to the weave structure of sateen. Examples might include certain twill weaves that are not classified as sateens due to specific yarn arrangements or fabric constructions that result in a different surface appearance or performance characteristics.
