5212.24.10 - Containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair

This HTS category, 5212.24.10, specifically classifies other woven fabrics of cotton that weigh more than 200 grams per square meter and are made of yarns of different colors. The critical defining characteristic is the presence of yarns dyed to distinct colors before weaving, resulting in a patterned fabric. These fabrics are distinct from those classified under sibling categories that may utilize yarns of the same color or have different weight parameters.

The distinction within this specific code hinges on the presence of 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. This content requirement differentiates it from purely cotton fabrics within the broader 5212.24 subheading. When these fabrics meet the specified material composition, they are further classified under 5212.24.10.

Further subdivision of this category is based on the preparation of the cotton yarns used. The subcategories 5212.24.10.10 and 5212.24.10.20 differentiate between fabrics where the cotton yarns were not combed and those where the cotton yarns were combed, respectively. This distinction in yarn preparation can impact the texture, appearance, and ultimate end-use of the fabric, necessitating this level of detail for precise classification.
