About HS Code 521159

This category covers heavyweight, printed woven fabrics made from cotton-man-made fiber blends, weighing more than 200g/m2, featuring complex or specialized weaves not classified as plain or twill. These fabrics offer unique textures and patterns beyond basic weaves, combined with the durability of a heavier weight and the aesthetic appeal of printing. They are traded for niche applications in high-end apparel, specialized home furnishings, and decorative textiles where distinct visual and tactile qualities are desired. Importers often include luxury fashion brands, bespoke furniture makers, and specialized textile distributors seeking unique materials. Exporters are typically advanced textile manufacturers with expertise in intricate weaving and sophisticated printing technologies. Key factors in trade include the novelty of the weave, the quality and complexity of the print, and the specific blend properties that contribute to the fabric's unique characteristics and market value.
