HS code 521059 covers: Fabrics, woven; containing less than 85% by weight of cotton, mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibres, weighing 200g/m2 or less, printed, of weaves n.e.c. in item no. 5210.5. This HS code covers lightweight, printed woven fabrics that contain less than 85% cotton, blended primarily with man-made fibers, and weigh 200g/m2 or less. These fabrics are highly versatile, finding extensive use in the apparel industry for items like blouses, dresses, and children's wear, as well as in home textiles for decorative purposes such as pillow covers or lightweight curtains. The blend of cotton with man-made fibers often provides benefits like improved wrinkle resistance, durability, and color retention compared to pure cotton. Major importers include garment manufacturers and textile distributors in fashion-forward markets, while exporters are typically textile mills in countries with strong printing and weaving capabilities. Key considerations in trade involve the specific fiber blend, the quality and complexity of the print, and the fabric's overall drape and hand feel, which are crucial for its end-use application.
