5212.23.60.90 - Other (220)

This HTS subcategory, 5212.23.60.90, encompasses "Other" woven fabrics of cotton that weigh more than 200 g/m², are dyed, and do not fall under more specific weave types or descriptions within the "Other" classification. These are typically cotton fabrics of substantial weight and color, intended for a variety of end uses where a generic woven cotton fabric is required. The "Other" designation signifies that these fabrics do not conform to the specific constructions like poplin, broadcloth, sheeting, or duck, nor do they possess the distinct satin or twill weave structures listed at the same level.

The primary distinction of this category lies in its residual nature within the "Other" classification for dyed woven cotton fabrics exceeding 200 g/m². While sibling categories specify distinct weaves like poplin, sheeting, and duck, or the characteristic diagonal lines of twill and the lustrous surface of satin, this subcategory covers all other dyed woven cotton fabrics of the specified weight that do not fit those more precise definitions. It serves as a catch-all for woven cotton fabrics that meet the general criteria but lack the particular structural or named characteristics of their counterparts.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Classification into 5212.23.60.90 is determined by the absence of specific defining characteristics that would place a dyed, heavy woven cotton fabric into a more narrowly defined category. Therefore, importers and customs officials will look for fabrics that are undeniably woven cotton, dyed, weigh over 200 g/m², and do not possess the identifiable structures or names of the preceding sibling categories.
