About HS Code 551313
This HS code is a general category for lightweight woven fabrics (not plain or twill specifically covered elsewhere) made from polyester staple fibres blended mainly or solely with cotton, in their unbleached or bleached state, not exceeding 170g/m2. With polyester content less than 85%, these fabrics offer a balance of synthetic durability and natural cotton comfort. They are crucial intermediate goods for a wide range of textile applications, including various apparel items, linings, and light home furnishings, where specific weave structures like sateen, dobby, or jacquard are employed. Major textile manufacturing hubs in Asia are primary exporters, supplying to global garment and textile producers. Trade often focuses on the specific blend ratio, the intricacy of the weave structure, and the fabric's suitability for subsequent dyeing and finishing processes to achieve desired aesthetic and functional properties.
