About HS Code 520849

This specialized HS code applies to woven cotton fabrics (85% or more cotton) that are yarn-dyed (patterns from different colored yarns) and feature 'not elsewhere specified' weaves, weighing not more than 200 g/m². This category includes sophisticated weaves like dobby, jacquard, or sateen, where the intricate patterns are created during the weaving process using pre-dyed yarns. These fabrics are highly prized in high-end fashion, luxury home textiles, and decorative applications due to their unique textures, rich patterns, and superior colorfastness. Importers are often luxury brands and interior designers seeking distinctive and premium materials. Exporters are specialized textile manufacturers, particularly from Italy, China, and India, known for their craftsmanship in complex weaving and dyeing.
