9902.12.84 - Woven fabrics of cotton, containing more than 50 percent but less than 85 percent by weight of cotton and containing polyester, bleached, pique weave, measuring 290 cm or greater in width (provided for in subheading 5211.20.29)

This HTS category, 9902.12.84, pertains to specific woven fabrics of cotton that fall under special classification provisions related to temporary legislation and trade agreements. The core material requirement is that the fabric must contain more than 50 percent but less than 85 percent by weight of cotton, with the remainder being polyester. Further defining characteristics include being bleached, having a pique weave construction, and measuring 290 cm or greater in width. This classification specifically points to the conditions found under subheading 5211.20.29 for its base tariff treatment.

As a temporary or special provision, this category differs from the primary HTS chapters that classify goods based on their inherent nature and use. Unlike the broad sibling categories at the HTS Database Root level, such as live animals (Chapters 01), this node focuses exclusively on a niche textile product with specific composition and physical attributes. Its existence within Chapter 99 signifies that these goods are subject to unique import restrictions or temporary modifications, potentially related to trade policies or agricultural adjustments, distinct from their standard classification under the Chapters 50-63 textile sections.

Since HTS code 9902.12.84 is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within this specific code is final and dependent on meeting all the enumerated criteria: the cotton-polyester content ratio, the bleaching status, the pique weave, and the substantial width. Importers and customs brokers must ensure all these specific requirements are met to correctly apply this special classification provision.
