It falls under HTS 6006.21.90.80 as it is an unbleached or bleached knitted fabric of cotton, not specifically wale or loop knit, and not for specific statistical categories.

Classified in HTS 6006.21.90.80 as an 'other' unbleached or bleached cotton knit fabric, excluding wale, loop, or specific statistical types.
