What HS 5211.39 covers
This HS code covers heavy-weight woven fabrics, exceeding 200 g/m², composed of less than 85% cotton blended with man-made fibers. These fabrics are uniformly dyed in a solid color but feature weave patterns other than plain, 3-thread, or 4-thread twill (e.g., sateen, dobby, jacquard). This 'not elsewhere specified' category captures a diverse range of specialized woven structures that offer unique textures, enhanced durability, or specific aesthetic qualities. International trade in these fabrics is driven by manufacturers seeking distinctive materials for high-end apparel, specialized workwear, or decorative home textiles. Major exporters include textile manufacturing hubs with advanced weaving technologies like China, Italy, and South Korea, while importers are often fashion houses, interior designers, and specialized garment producers in Europe, North America, and Japan. The complexity of the weave and the specific fiber blend are critical factors influencing trade value and application.

In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 521139 in UN Comtrade data was China, with 51% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Bangladesh, with about 17% of world imports. Vietnam did not report 2025 data, and its estimate from partner records misses its trade with other countries that did not report: in 2024 that was 4.0% of its imports here ($842K, CEPII BACI), so it may also belong among the top importers.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
