About HS Code 521039

This category encompasses lightweight woven fabrics, weighing 200g/m2 or less, composed of less than 85% cotton blended mainly with man-made fibres, and uniformly dyed. The "n.e.c." (not elsewhere specified) in the description signifies that these fabrics feature weaves other than plain or twill, such as sateen, dobby, or jacquard patterns. These diverse weaves offer unique textures and aesthetic qualities, making them popular in fashion and decorative applications. Importers range from high-end fashion houses seeking unique textures to manufacturers of specialized apparel and home furnishings. Exporters are typically large-scale textile mills capable of producing intricate weave structures. Understanding the specific weave type and dye quality is crucial for accurate classification and market positioning, as these factors significantly influence the fabric's appeal and price point.

Real World Examples

Common Misclassification

Misclassification can occur with 521032 if the weave is mistakenly identified as a standard twill, or with 521049 if the fabric has subtle yarn-dyed effects rather than a solid dye. Confusion with pure man-made fibre fabrics (Chapter 55) is also common if the cotton content is overlooked.
