5212.25 - Printed:

This category, HTS 5212.25, encompasses other woven fabrics of cotton that weigh more than 200 grams per square meter and are specifically described as "Printed." This means the fabric has undergone a process to apply patterns or designs using dyes or pigments after weaving. The cotton content must be the principal component, and the fabric construction falls outside of more specifically enumerated categories within Chapter 52.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. HTS 5212.21 covers unbleached fabrics, 5212.22 covers bleached fabrics, 5212.23 covers dyed fabrics (uniformly colored), and 5212.24 covers fabrics woven from yarns of different colors. HTS 5212.25 is reserved for printed fabrics, indicating a decorative application applied post-weaving, distinct from the dyeing or inherent yarn coloration of its sibling categories.

Within HTS 5212.25, two subcategories exist to further refine the classification based on additional material composition. HTS 5212.25.10 specifically covers printed woven cotton fabrics exceeding 200 g/m² that contain 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair, in addition to cotton. All other printed woven cotton fabrics meeting the weight and printing criteria, but not meeting the specific wool or fine animal hair content threshold, are classified under HTS 5212.25.60 as "Other."
