About HS Code 521112
This HS code covers heavyweight, unbleached twill fabrics, specifically 3- or 4-thread twills, including cross twill, that contain less than 85% cotton and are blended with man-made fibers, weighing more than 200g/m2. These fabrics are highly valued in international trade for their characteristic diagonal rib pattern, which imparts superior strength, durability, and resistance to tearing compared to plain weaves. Their unbleached state signifies they are raw materials destined for further dyeing, printing, or finishing. They are primarily used in the production of heavy-duty workwear, uniforms, sturdy trousers, and certain types of upholstery. Importers are typically garment factories specializing in robust apparel and industrial textile manufacturers. Exporters are large textile mills with advanced weaving capabilities. Key trade factors include the specific twill construction, the fiber blend, and the fabric's ability to accept various finishing treatments.
