HS Code for Heavy printed blend

Classification under HS code 5211.59 involves woven fabrics that are a blend of cotton (less than 85%) and man-made fibers, weighing over 200g/m2, and featuring a printed design. Printing is the process of applying color in specific patterns or designs to the surface of the finished fabric, rather than weaving the pattern with colored yarns. The "n.e.c." weave designation means the base fabric construction is something other than a standard plain or twill weave, such as satin or complex dobby weaves. These fabrics are highly versatile, combining the durability and wrinkle resistance of synthetic fibers like polyester with the comfort of cotton. They are frequently used in the production of heavy curtains, furniture covers, and patterned outerwear where both aesthetic appeal and physical robustness are required.

Common Misclassification

This code is often confused with 5211.51, which is specifically for printed plain weave blends. It is also confused with 5209.59, which is for printed fabrics containing 85% or more cotton. If the fabric is dyed a solid color rather than printed with a pattern, it would fall under the 5211.3x series.
