About HS Code 580123

This category covers woven weft pile fabrics of cotton that are cut, but are neither uncut (580121) nor corduroy (580122). This includes a diverse range of cotton velveteen, cut velour, and other plush fabrics where the pile is formed by weft threads and then cut to create a soft, even surface. These fabrics are traded globally for use in apparel, upholstery, decorative textiles, and even some specialized industrial applications. Importers include garment factories, furniture makers, and home decor companies seeking the luxurious feel and natural breathability of cotton. Exporters are textile manufacturers with advanced weaving and finishing capabilities. Important trade considerations include pile height, density, softness, and colorfastness.

Common Misclassification
