Heading 5209Woven fabrics of cotton, containing 85% or more by weight of cotton, weighing more than 200g/m2

Chapter 52: Cotton

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 520922 when importing or exporting bleached woven fabrics made from cotton, specifically 3-thread or 4-thread twill, that weigh more than 200 grams per square meter. For example, a shipment of bleached cotton twill fabric rolls, intended for apparel manufacturing, falls under this code.

This code is distinct from HS-6 520921, which covers similar fabrics but may not meet the weight requirement or specific twill structure. If your fabric weighs less than 200g/m2, you would need to look at a different classification.

The 520922 subheading specifically addresses fabrics that are predominantly cotton (85% or more) and have been bleached, making them suitable for dyeing and printing. This is important for manufacturers looking for high-quality materials for clothing and home textiles.

When classifying your products, consider the fabric's weight and structure. If your fabric is a plain weave or has a different thread count, it could fall under another HS code, such as 520923 for other types of woven cotton fabrics.
