About HS Code 521143
This category encompasses heavy woven fabrics, exceeding 200g/m², with less than 85% cotton content, blended mainly with man-made fibers, and featuring a 3-thread or 4-thread twill weave, including cross twill, made from yarns of different colors. These fabrics are yarn-dyed, resulting in inherent patterns like diagonals, herringbones, or checks, and are known for their excellent drape, durability, and resistance to creasing due to the twill structure. They are widely used in the production of uniforms, workwear, trousers, jackets, and upholstery. Importers typically include apparel manufacturers and textile distributors in regions with significant garment production, such as Southeast Asia and Central America. Exporters are often countries with sophisticated weaving and dyeing capabilities, like China, India, and Pakistan. Key trading considerations include the clarity and consistency of the twill line, colorfastness, and the specific blend's performance characteristics for industrial or fashion applications.
