About HS Code 521032
This HS code covers lightweight woven fabrics, specifically those weighing 200g/m2 or less, made from a blend of less than 85% cotton and predominantly man-made fibres, and finished with a solid dye. The defining characteristic here is the twill weave, which includes 3-thread, 4-thread, and cross twill patterns, giving the fabric a distinct diagonal rib. These fabrics are highly sought after by garment manufacturers for their durability, wrinkle resistance, and good drape, making them ideal for everyday apparel. Importers typically include textile wholesalers, fashion brands, and apparel factories in developed and developing nations, while major exporters are often textile-producing powerhouses in Asia. Key considerations for trade involve colour fastness, blend composition, and the specific twill pattern, which all impact the fabric's end-use and market value.
