About HS Code 521041

This HS code identifies lightweight woven fabrics, weighing 200g/m2 or less, characterized by a blend of less than 85% cotton with a significant proportion of man-made fibres. A key feature is that these fabrics are made from yarns of different colours, creating patterns like stripes, checks, or plaids, rather than being piece-dyed. The weave specified here is plain weave, which is simple and strong, providing a balanced and often crisp texture. These fabrics are widely used in casual wear, shirting, and children's clothing due to their vibrant patterns and ease of care. Importers include garment manufacturers, fashion brands, and fabric distributors, while exporters are typically textile mills specializing in yarn-dyed production. The durability and aesthetic versatility make them a staple in global textile trade.

Real World Examples

Common Misclassification

This code is often confused with 521051 if the fabric is printed to mimic yarn-dyed patterns, or with 521032 if the fabric is piece-dyed after weaving with different coloured yarns. It can also be mistaken for pure cotton fabrics (e.g., 520841) if the blend composition is not accurately determined.
