About HS Code 551624
This HS code covers woven fabrics that are printed, containing less than 85% by weight of artificial staple fibres, mixed mainly or solely with man-made filaments. These fabrics are characterized by designs applied to their surface after weaving, using various printing techniques like screen, digital, or roller printing. They are a cornerstone of the fast fashion industry, home decor, and children's wear, offering immense design flexibility and vibrant patterns. Importers include apparel brands, textile converters, and retailers seeking trendy and visually appealing materials. Exporters are typically textile manufacturers with advanced printing capabilities, often found in major textile-producing countries. Key considerations for trade include the printing method, the quality of the print, and the specific blend composition, which influences drape, feel, and durability.
