Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 520822 when importing or exporting bleached woven cotton fabrics that weigh between 100 and 200 grams per square meter. For example, a shipment of bleached cotton fabric rolls intended for making shirts would fall under this code.
This code specifically applies to fabrics made from 85% or more cotton, emphasizing their lightweight nature. In contrast, HS-6 520821 covers similar fabrics but with a weight of 100 g/m2 or less, which may be used for lighter garments like summer dresses.
Fabrics classified under HS-6 520822 are typically plain woven, meaning they have a simple over-and-under weave pattern. This is different from more complex weaves found in other classifications, which may include decorative patterns or textures.
When determining if this code applies, consider the fabric's weight and weave type. If the fabric is bleached and meets the weight requirement, it should be classified here.
