About HS Code 520822
This category includes medium-weight, bleached cotton fabrics, plain woven, with a weight between more than 100g/m2 but not more than 200g/m2. Having undergone bleaching, these fabrics are bright white and ready for various applications, or for subsequent dyeing and printing. They are a staple in the global textile trade, serving as a versatile base for a wide range of products from apparel to home textiles. Importers are typically garment manufacturers, bedding producers, and textile converters who value the pre-processed, clean state of the fabric. Exporters are textile mills with integrated bleaching facilities, often in countries with strong textile industries. The "bleached" characteristic signifies a higher level of processing than unbleached fabrics, offering convenience and a consistent white base for further manufacturing.
