About HS Code 521049

This category covers lightweight woven fabrics, weighing 200g/m2 or less, made from a blend of less than 85% cotton and predominantly man-made fibres. The distinctive feature is the use of yarns of different colours to create patterns, combined with weaves other than plain weave (e.g., twill, sateen, dobby). This allows for more complex and textured patterns compared to plain weave, offering enhanced aesthetic appeal and durability. These fabrics are popular in fashion apparel, decorative textiles, and specialized uniforms where both pattern and texture are desired. Importers include fashion designers, apparel manufacturers, and textile distributors, while exporters are typically advanced textile mills with diverse weaving capabilities. The intricate patterns and robust nature make them valuable in niche markets.
