HS Code 5513.13 – Fabrics, woven; of polyester staple fibres, containing less than 85% by weight of such fibres, mixed mainly or solely with cotton, not exceeding 170g/m2, unbleached or bleached
HS code 5513.13 is the 6-digit subheading for fabrics, woven, of polyester staple fibres, containing less than 85% by weight of such fibres, mixed mainly or solely with cotton, not exceeding 170g/m2, unbleached or bleached. It is used for unbleached poly-cotton sateen, bleached polyester-cotton dobby, greige lightweight blend fabric, undyed poly-cotton jacquard and raw polyester-cotton oxford.
What HS 5513.13 covers
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.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
