HS Code 5310.90 – Fabrics, woven; of jute or of other textile bast fibres of heading no. 5303, other than unbleached
HS code 5310.90 is the 6-digit subheading for fabrics, woven, of jute or of other textile bast fibres of heading no. 5303, other than unbleached. It is used for bleached jute fabric, dyed hessian cloth, printed jute canvas, treated kenaf fabric and colored ramie textile.
What HS 5310.90 covers
This HS code covers woven fabrics made from jute or other bast fibers (like kenaf or ramie from HS 5303) that have undergone further processing beyond their raw, unbleached state. This includes fabrics that are bleached, dyed, printed, or otherwise finished, offering a wider range of aesthetic and functional properties compared to their unbleached counterparts. These processed fabrics are traded globally for applications requiring specific colors, patterns, or enhanced durability, such as decorative textiles, fashion accessories, and specialized industrial uses. Key importers are often countries with robust textile manufacturing and design industries, seeking semi-finished goods for further value addition. Exporters are typically nations with established textile processing capabilities, often building on their raw fiber production. Understanding the specific finishing treatments, colorfastness, and environmental certifications is crucial for trade in these goods. The market for these fabrics is driven by consumer trends in sustainable fashion, home decor, and specialized industrial applications where natural fibers are preferred.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
