About HS Code 580133

This HS code serves as a general category for woven weft pile fabrics of man-made fibers that are cut, but are neither uncut (580131) nor corduroy (580132). This broad classification includes a wide array of synthetic velveteen, plush, and velour fabrics where the pile is formed by weft threads and then cut. These versatile fabrics are extensively traded for applications in upholstery, apparel, toys, and automotive interiors, offering various textures, performance characteristics, and aesthetic finishes. Importers range from furniture and automotive manufacturers to toy makers and apparel brands. Exporters are typically large-scale textile producers. Trade considerations include fiber type, pile height, density, flame retardancy, and abrasion resistance.

Common Misclassification
