Overview
This HTS classification, 5212.25.60.10, specifically covers other woven fabrics of cotton that weigh more than 200 g/m², are printed, and are mixed mainly or solely with wool or fine animal hair. These are fabrics where cotton is the primary component by weight, but a significant portion, or exclusively, consists of wool or fine animal hair, such as cashmere or mohair. The printing process is a key characteristic, distinguishing these from unprinted fabrics within the same weight and fiber blend criteria.
At this granular level, it's crucial to differentiate from potential sibling categories by confirming the presence and proportion of wool or fine animal hair in conjunction with the printing. Fabrics of similar weight and cotton composition but without this specific fiber blend would fall into a different subclassification. The emphasis here is on the printed composite fabric, where the aesthetic and functional properties are influenced by both the cotton base and the added animal hair.
As this represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions under this specific code. Therefore, classification under 5212.25.60.10 relies on the definitive presence of cotton as the principal component, a weight exceeding 200 g/m², the fact that the fabric is printed, and the inclusion of wool or fine animal hair as a significant or sole admixture. Importers and exporters should ensure detailed material composition and processing details are readily available to confirm adherence to these specific criteria.
