About HS Code 521152
This HS code encompasses heavyweight, printed twill fabrics, characterized by their distinct diagonal weave pattern and a blend of cotton with man-made fibers, weighing more than 200g/m2. The printing adds a decorative element to these robust fabrics, making them versatile for both functional and aesthetic applications. They are extensively traded for manufacturing durable apparel like printed denim jeans, jackets, and workwear, as well as for heavy-duty home furnishings such as printed upholstery or decorative accents. Importers are typically garment manufacturers, furniture makers, and textile distributors, while exporters are specialized textile mills capable of both weaving and advanced printing techniques. Key trade considerations include the complexity of the print, the durability of the twill weave, and the specific blend ratio, which impacts performance, care instructions, and the fabric's overall market appeal.
