About HS Code 521213

This category covers lightweight, dyed woven cotton fabrics, representing a significant segment of the global textile trade. These fabrics have been uniformly colored after weaving, offering a ready-to-use material for garment manufacturers and producers of home textiles. The trade is characterized by a vast array of colors, requiring precise color matching and consistency across batches. Major importers are apparel manufacturing hubs in countries like Vietnam, Bangladesh, and Mexico, which source these fabrics from large-scale textile producers in China, India, and Pakistan. Key factors influencing trade include color fastness, dye quality, fabric hand-feel, and compliance with environmental regulations regarding dyeing processes. The demand is highly sensitive to fashion trends and consumer preferences for specific colors and finishes.
