HS Code for Heavy yarn-dyed blend
The classification of heavy yarn-dyed blend fabrics under HS code 5211.41 is based on the specific combination of fiber blend, weight, coloration method, and weave. This code is reserved for woven fabrics containing less than 85% cotton, mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibers (such as polyester or nylon). The fabric must be heavy, exceeding 200 grams per square meter (g/m2). The term "of yarns of different colours" (yarn-dyed) indicates that the fabric is woven from yarns that were dyed before the weaving process began. This allows for the creation of structural patterns like stripes, checks, or heathered effects that are integral to the fabric's construction. The weave must be a plain weave, which is the most basic textile weave where the warp and weft threads cross each other alternately. This classification is common for durable, color-fast materials used in workwear, outdoor gear, and heavy-duty linens. It is distinguished from printed blends (5211.51) and dyed blends (5211.31) by the timing of the dyeing process and the resulting visual characteristics of the fabric.

Common Misclassification
Commonly confused with 5209.41, which is for fabrics with 85% or more cotton. It is also frequently confused with 5211.42, which covers yarn-dyed blends with a twill weave rather than a plain weave. If the synthetic content is the predominant fiber by weight, some regions may look toward chapter 55.
