What HS 5210.39 covers

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.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
