📦 1. HS Code Classification Breakdown (2026 Official Tariff Table)

🔍 Critical Insight:
- "Jacquard" + "knitted" + "bleached" + "cotton" = 5210.29.60.90 → Best fit
- "Jacquard" but not knitted → 5208.29.60.90 → Lower tax, but only if woven
- No jacquard, no knitted → 5209.29.00.40/90 → Lowest base tariff, but incorrect if jacquard exists

💰 2. Tariff Breakdown (US Market – China Origin, 2026)

✅ All codes apply to products from China (CN)
✅ Effective from Nov 10, 2025
✅ No de minimis exemption (even small shipments taxed)

🎯 1. 5210.29.60.90 — Best Fit: Bleached Knitted Jacquard Cotton Fabric

📌 Why 46.4%?
- Knitted fabric → higher base duty than woven
- Jacquard pattern → not a simple weave → excluded from lower-tier subheadings
- Over 1 m² → not small format → not eligible for reduced rates
- China origin → triggers all three tariffs

🎯 2. 5210.29.80.90 — Alternative: Bleached Knitted Cotton (Other Types)

⚠️ Warning:
- This code is worse than 5210.29.60.90 — higher base tariff
- Use only if jacquard is not confirmed or cannot be documented
- Risk of overpayment if jacquard is present

🎯 3. 5208.29.60.90 — Woven Fabric with Jacquard Pattern

❗ Critical Risk:
- If fabric is knitted, this code is wrong → customs penalty
- Must prove woven structure via photos, technical specs, or lab test
- Misclassification = seizure, fines, re-export

🎯 4. 5209.29.00.40 & 5209.29.00.90 — General Bleached Cotton Fabric (No Specific Structure)

⚠️ Danger Zone:
- If fabric has jacquard pattern, this code is invalid
- If fabric is knitted, this code is wrong
- Only acceptable if fabric is plain, unstructured, non-knitted, non-jacquard
