5801.22.10.00 - Greater than 7.5 wales per cm (224)

This HTS classification, 5801.22.10.00, specifically covers cut corduroy fabrics of cotton that possess a wale density greater than 7.5 wales per centimeter. Corduroy is characterized by its distinctive raised parallel cords or ribs, created by cutting loops of woven fabric. The "cut" aspect refers to the process of severing these loops to form the distinct pile structure of the corduroy. This particular sub-classification focuses on a finer wale structure within the broader category of cotton corduroy.

The key differentiator for this category is the numerical threshold for wales per centimeter. Its sibling, 5801.22.90.00, encompasses all other cut corduroy fabrics of cotton, implying they have a wale density of 7.5 wales per centimeter or fewer. Therefore, when classifying cotton corduroy, the precise count of wales per centimeter is the crucial factor in determining whether it falls under this category or its sibling.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification stops here, and goods meeting the description of cotton cut corduroy with a wale density exceeding 7.5 wales per centimeter would be assigned this specific HTS code. Examples of such fabrics would be used in apparel and home furnishings where a finer, more densely ribbed corduroy texture is desired.
