HS Code for Yarn-dyed cotton blend twill
HS code 5211.43 is applied to heavyweight woven fabrics that contain less than 85% cotton by weight, mixed primarily or solely with man-made fibers. To qualify for this classification, the fabric must weigh more than 200 grams per square meter (g/m2). The weave structure must be a 3-thread or 4-thread twill, which includes cross twill patterns. The "yarn-dyed" characteristic means the fabric is composed of yarns of different colors, creating patterns like stripes or checks through the weaving process itself. This code is essential for identifying durable, blended textiles often used in workwear, heavy trousers, and outerwear where the strength of synthetic fibers is combined with the comfort of cotton in a heavy-duty twill construction.

Common Misclassification
A common misclassification occurs with HS code 5210.43, which covers the same twill weave and fiber blend but is restricted to fabrics weighing 200g/m2 or less. It is also often confused with 5209.43, which is for heavyweight twills that contain 85% or more cotton. Furthermore, if the fabric is specifically denim, it may fall under 5211.42, even if it is a twill weave. Precise laboratory testing of fiber weight and weave count is necessary to distinguish these categories.
