5212.24 - Of yarns of different colors:

This HTS category, 5212.24, specifically covers other woven fabrics of cotton that weigh more than 200 g/m² and are composed of yarns of different colors. These fabrics are distinguished from their siblings by the multicolored nature of their constituent yarns. Unlike 5212.21 (unbleached), 5212.22 (bleached), 5212.23 (dyed), and 5212.25 (printed), the coloring in this fabric arises from the use of yarns that are already different colors before the weaving process.

The distinction of using pre-colored yarns is crucial for classification. This approach to achieving a multi-colored appearance sets these fabrics apart from those where a single colored yarn is dyed after weaving, or where the fabric is dyed in its entirety. This category is designed to capture woven cotton fabrics where the visual effect of different colors is achieved through the strategic combination of colored threads during manufacturing.

Within 5212.24, two subcategories exist to further refine the classification. 5212.24.10 addresses fabrics of this description that contain 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair, indicating a blended composition where cotton is still a significant component but other fibers are also present. The residual category, 5212.24.60, encompasses all other woven fabrics of cotton weighing over 200 g/m² and made from yarns of different colors that do not meet the criteria for the blended subcategory.
