Chapter 52: Cotton

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 520841 when importing or exporting lightweight woven cotton fabrics that weigh no more than 100 g/m². An example would be a shipment of colorful cotton tablecloths made from plain weave fabric.

This code specifically covers fabrics made of 85% or more cotton, which distinguishes it from HS-6 520842, where the weight exceeds 100 g/m². If your fabric weighs between 100 g/m² and 200 g/m², you would need to classify it under that line instead.

The 520841 classification is particularly relevant for items like cotton shirts, dresses, or home textiles that are lightweight and made from colorful woven cotton. These fabrics are often used in fashion and home décor.

When considering this code, ensure that your fabric's composition and weight align with the requirements. If you have a fabric that is a blend or weighs more than specified, it may not qualify under this line.
