HS Code for Heavy dyed blend
The classification of heavy dyed blended fabrics under HS code 5211.39 is based on three primary criteria: fiber composition, weight, and weave type. Heading 5211 covers woven fabrics of cotton, containing less than 85% by weight of cotton, mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibers, and weighing more than 200 g/m2. The subheading 5211.39 specifically refers to fabrics that have been dyed and possess a weave other than plain weave or 3-thread/4-thread twill. This is a residual category for complex or specialty weaves such as satin, dobby, or jacquard patterns. Classification follows Section XI notes regarding textile blends and Chapter 52 notes regarding cotton content. The "heavy" designation is technically satisfied by the requirement that the fabric weighs more than 200 grams per square meter, making it suitable for upholstery, heavy workwear, or outerwear.

Common Misclassification
This code is often confused with HS code 5211.32, which is specifically for 3-thread or 4-thread twill weaves. If the fabric has a diagonal rib pattern characteristic of twill, it must be moved to 5211.32. Another common misclassification occurs with HS code 5210.39, which covers similar dyed blended fabrics but with a weight of 200 g/m2 or less. Importers must ensure accurate GSM (grams per square meter) measurements to distinguish between these headings. Additionally, if the cotton content is 85% or more, the fabric moves to heading 5209.
