Classification of dyed cotton blend fabric under HS 5210.39
The classification 5210.39 applies to woven fabrics that are primarily composed of cotton but contain less than 85% cotton by weight. These fabrics must be mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibers (either synthetic or artificial) and must have a total weight not exceeding 200 grams per square meter (g/m2). The "dyed" status indicates the fabric has been colored after weaving. Subheading 5210.39 is a residual category for dyed fabrics that do not feature a plain, twill, or satin weave specifically mentioned in other 5210.3 subheadings. This code is frequently used for lightweight poly-cotton blends used in shirting and uniforms where the cotton content is significant but not dominant. The weight limit of 200g/m2 is a strict requirement for this heading; heavier fabrics are classified elsewhere.

Codes often confused with 5210.39
Common mistake. Common errors include using HS code 5208.39, which is for fabrics containing 85% or more cotton. Another error is using 5211.39, which is for cotton blends weighing more than 200g/m2. Additionally, if the fabric is mixed mainly with wool rather than man-made fibers, it would be classified under Chapter 52 but a different subheading, or potentially Chapter 51 depending on the weight ratios.

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).
