About HS Code 520843
This HS code covers woven cotton fabrics, containing 85% or more cotton, where patterns are formed by weaving yarns of different colors into a 3-thread or 4-thread twill weave, including cross twill, and weighing not more than 200 g/m². These fabrics combine the strength and diagonal texture of twill with the colorfastness and intricate patterns of yarn-dyed materials. They are highly valued for casual apparel, such as lightweight denim, chambray shirts, and patterned trousers, offering both durability and a sophisticated aesthetic. Importers are typically fashion brands and garment factories seeking high-quality, patterned fabrics for their collections. Exporters are textile mills with advanced capabilities in yarn dyeing and complex twill weaving, primarily found in Asia.
