HS Code for Bleached cotton twill fabric

This classification applies to woven fabrics primarily composed of cotton (85% or more by weight) that have undergone a bleaching process. The specific weave structure is a 3-thread or 4-thread twill, including cross twill. A critical distinguishing factor for this code is the fabric's weight, which must be not more than 200 grams per square meter (g/m2). This combination of material, processing, weave, and weight precisely defines its placement within Chapter 52 of the Harmonized System, which covers cotton and cotton fabrics.

Products Included

• Lightweight bleached cotton twill for shirts
• Bleached cotton chino fabric weighing 200g/m2 or less
• Bleached cotton sateen twill fabric weighing 200g/m2 or less
• Other bleached cotton twill fabrics suitable for lighter apparel or home textiles, weighing not more than 200g/m2.

Common Misclassification

A frequent point of confusion is with HS code 520922. While both codes describe bleached cotton twill fabrics with 85% or more cotton, 520922 is specifically for fabrics weighing more than 200g/m2. Therefore, the weight criterion is the primary differentiator. Other bleached cotton fabrics, such as plain weaves (e.g., 520821), or those with different fiber compositions, would fall under alternative subheadings within Chapter 52.
