About HS Code 551319
This HS code covers lightweight, unbleached or bleached woven fabrics where synthetic staple fibres (other than polyesters) are blended mainly or solely with cotton, with the synthetic content being less than 85% by weight, and not exceeding 170g/m2. This 'other than polyesters' distinction means it could include blends with nylon, acrylic, modacrylic, or other synthetic staple fibers, offering unique performance characteristics not found in polyester-cotton blends. These fabrics are important intermediate goods for specialized apparel, workwear, or technical textiles where specific properties like enhanced abrasion resistance (nylon), warmth (acrylic), or flame retardancy (modacrylic) are desired alongside cotton's comfort. Exporters are typically textile mills with diverse fiber processing capabilities, supplying to niche manufacturers globally. Trade in these materials is driven by demand for specialized functional attributes in their raw or basic state.
