Alternative Classifications

If yarn number below 69

Lower yarn numbers (coarser yarns) fall under 5208.39.40 for other high-count fabrics, changing based on average yarn fineness calculation.

5208.32.40Lower: 47.2% vs 50%

If plain weave instead of Oxford

Plain weave cotton fabrics shift to 5208.32 subheading; Oxford's basketweave distinguishes it per weave-specific provisions.

Fabrics containing <85% cotton by weight move to Chapter 52 heading 5211 for mixed cotton weaves.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify average yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g

• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm #69 or higher

• Provide lab test reports for fiber content (>85% cotton) and weight (<200 g/m²) to avoid reclassification

• Check Chapter 52 quotas if raw cotton content applies; ensure dyeing is uniform for 'dyed' subheading
