About HS Code 521051

This HS code pertains to lightweight woven fabrics, weighing 200g/m2 or less, composed of less than 85% cotton blended primarily with man-made fibres, and featuring a printed design. The base fabric is a plain weave, known for its simplicity, strength, and smooth surface, which provides an excellent canvas for various printing techniques. These fabrics are highly versatile and widely used in fast fashion, children's wear, and home textiles due to the endless possibilities of patterns and colours. Importers typically include garment factories, fashion brands, and fabric wholesalers looking for cost-effective and visually appealing materials. Exporters are often textile printing houses and mills in regions with strong design and manufacturing capabilities, making them key players in global fashion trends.
