About HS Code 520922
This HS code identifies heavy cotton fabrics, weighing more than 200 g/m² and containing at least 85% cotton, that have been bleached and exhibit a twill weave (including 3-thread, 4-thread, or cross twill). The bleaching process renders the fabric a clean white, making it an ideal base for subsequent dyeing, printing, or for use in products requiring a pristine white appearance. The twill weave provides excellent durability, a characteristic diagonal rib, and good drape, making these fabrics highly sought after for workwear, uniforms, heavy shirting, and sturdy home textiles. Importers are typically garment manufacturers, uniform suppliers, and textile converters who value the combination of strength, a clean finish, and the versatility for further processing. Exporters are often textile powerhouses in Asia, leveraging advanced bleaching and weaving technologies. Critical aspects in trade include the consistency of the bleach, the integrity of the twill structure, and the fabric's receptiveness to various finishing treatments.
