HS Code for Dyed cotton blend twill

The classification of dyed cotton blend twill under HS code 5211.32 is determined by three primary technical factors: fiber composition, fabric weight, and weave structure. This specific code applies to woven fabrics where cotton constitutes less than 85% of the total weight, but is mixed primarily or solely with man-made fibers such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic. Furthermore, the fabric must exceed a weight of 200 grams per square meter (g/m2) and feature a 3-thread or 4-thread twill weave, which includes cross twill patterns. The term \"dyed\" refers to fabrics that have been dyed a single uniform color in the piece after the weaving process is complete. This classification is essential for distinguishing heavy-duty blended textiles used in industrial workwear or durable outerwear from lighter varieties or those with higher cotton concentrations. The 200g/m2 threshold is a critical dividing line in Chapter 52, separating heavy fabrics from medium and light ones. Customs authorities look for the diagonal ribbing pattern characteristic of twill to confirm the weave type and perform laboratory analysis to verify the exact fiber blend percentages.

Common Misclassification

This code is frequently confused with HS code 5209.32, which covers similar twill fabrics that contain 85% or more cotton by weight. Another common error involves HS code 5211.31, which is reserved for plain weave fabrics rather than twill. Additionally, if the synthetic fiber content exceeds the cotton content by weight, the fabric might be classified under Chapter 55 (e.g., 5514), depending on the specific blend and weight.

FAQ

What is the HS code for dyed cotton blend twill?

The HS code for dyed cotton blend twill containing less than 85% cotton and weighing more than 200g/m2 is 5211.32.

How does weight affect the classification of this fabric?

If the fabric weighs 200g/m2 or less, it would be classified under heading 5210 instead of 5211, even if the fiber blend and weave remain the same.
