About HS Code 521141
This HS code identifies heavy woven fabrics, weighing over 200g/m², composed of less than 85% cotton, blended predominantly with man-made fibers, and characterized by their plain weave structure using yarns of different colors. These fabrics are "yarn-dyed," meaning the individual yarns are colored before weaving, creating patterns like stripes, checks, or melanges directly in the fabric structure. They are highly sought after by manufacturers of durable apparel, workwear, upholstery, and home textiles where colorfastness and inherent pattern are crucial. Importers often include garment factories in developing economies and textile distributors in developed markets, looking for ready-to-cut patterned fabrics. Exporters are typically countries with strong textile design and weaving industries, such as China, India, and Pakistan. Key trading considerations involve color consistency, pattern repeat accuracy, and the durability of the plain weave for its intended end-use.
