HS code 5210.19 is the 6-digit subheading for fabrics, woven, containing less than 85% by weight of cotton, mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibres, unbleached, of weaves n.e.c. in item no. 5210.1, weighing 200g/m2 or less. It is used for unbleached cotton-poly twill, unbleached cotton-rayon sateen, unbleached blended dobby, unbleached blended herringbone and unbleached blended oxford.

What HS 5210.19 covers

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.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
