Overview
This HTS classification covers specific woven fabrics of cotton that are bleached. The key defining characteristics for this category are the yarn numbers, which must fall within the range of 43 to 68. Furthermore, these fabrics are presented in large, continuous rolls with precise width and length specifications. The width must be 74 cm or more but not exceed 184 cm, and the length must be at least 1640 m but not more than 6500 m. This particular classification is an example of a temporary provision, specifically referencing its underlying classification under subheading 5208.21.40, indicating a controlled or managed import status for these specific cotton fabrics.
Given that this is a leaf node within Chapter 99, there are no further subcategories under HTS 9902.12.83. Its distinctiveness from sibling categories lies in its granular specification of cotton fabric properties and its placement under a temporary legislation chapter. While other categories at the HTS Database Root level deal with a vast array of goods (e.g., live animals in Chapter 01), this classification is narrowly focused on a specific type of processed textile product with defined physical attributes and a particular customs treatment. The "provided for in subheading 5208.21.40" directive is crucial for understanding its underlying substantive classification, distinguishing it from any other cotton fabrics that might exist elsewhere in the tariff schedule.
