What HS 5516.24 covers
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.

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).
