About HS Code 521019

This category encompasses lightweight, unbleached cotton-blend fabrics, where cotton constitutes less than 85% and is primarily mixed with man-made fibers, but featuring weaves other than plain weave (e.g., twill, sateen, dobby). These "not elsewhere specified" fabrics offer enhanced texture and drape compared to plain weaves, while retaining the benefits of a cotton-synthetic blend. They are popular for more structured garments, decorative elements, or specific industrial applications where a unique unbleached aesthetic is desired. Importers often include countries with diverse textile manufacturing needs, such as the EU nations, Japan, and the United States, seeking specialized fabric bases for further processing. Exporters are typically textile powerhouses like China, India, and Turkey, capable of producing a wide array of blended weaves. Traders should consider the specific blend composition, the intricacy of the weave, and the fabric's potential for subsequent dyeing, printing, or finishing treatments.
