About HS Code 580121

This HS code covers woven pile fabrics made from cotton, specifically those with an uncut weft pile. These textiles are characterized by loops of yarn on the surface that are not cut, giving them a soft, often textured feel. In international trade, these fabrics are primarily used in home furnishings like upholstery, decorative pillows, and certain types of apparel where a plush, uncut surface is desired. Major importers include furniture manufacturers, interior design firms, and apparel brands seeking natural fiber options. Exporters are typically textile mills in countries with strong cotton production and weaving capabilities. Key considerations for trade include the quality and staple length of the cotton, the density and height of the pile, and compliance with textile safety and flammability standards, especially for upholstery applications. The 'uncut' aspect is crucial for classification.

Common Misclassification

This code is often confused with 5802 (terry towelling fabrics) if the fabric is intended for towels, or 580122 (cut corduroy) if the pile is mistakenly identified as cut. The key distinction is 'uncut weft pile' and its end-use not being towelling.
