5801.27.10.00 - Epinglé (uncut) (224) 🖩

This HTS classification covers warp pile fabrics made of cotton that are specifically characterized by their uncut pile loops. These fabrics, often referred to as "ekinglé" in its uncut state, are constructed with an extra set of warp yarns that are woven into the ground fabric, forming loops on the surface. The key distinguishing feature here is the intact, unsevered nature of these loops, which contribute to the fabric's texture, absorbency, and drape.

This category is distinct from its sibling, HTS 5801.27.50, which covers cut warp pile fabrics of cotton. The difference lies solely in the finishing of the pile. While this classification is for fabrics where the pile remains in its looped form, the sibling category encompasses fabrics where these loops have been cut, creating a distinct plush or velvet-like surface. The underlying construction and material (cotton warp pile) are otherwise the same.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 5801.27.10.00. Classification at this level is determined by the specific material (cotton), the fabric construction (warp pile), and the state of the pile (uncut loops). Examples of such fabrics might include certain types of toweling or specialized upholstery fabrics where the looped pile is the desired textural element.
