HEADING

5208

CHAPTER

In plain English

This heading covers woven cotton fabrics that are at least 85% cotton by weight and weigh no more than 200 grams per square meter. The subheadings sort these fabrics by their surface treatment, such as being unbleached, bleached, dyed, made from colored yarns, or printed. Within each treatment category, the goods are further divided based on their weave pattern, specifically plain weave versus twill weaves, and their weight, distinguishing between lighter fabrics under 100 grams per square meter and heavier ones up to 200 grams per square meter.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Cotton/poly blends — under 85% cotton content classification depends on dominant fibre by weight.
