HS-6 520922 covers bleached woven cotton fabrics that contain 85% or more cotton by weight, specifically in 3-thread or 4-thread twill, and weigh more than 200g/m2.

How can I verify the weight of my cotton fabric?

To verify the weight, you can measure a square meter of the fabric and weigh it. If it exceeds 200 grams, it may qualify for HS-6 520922.

What should I do if my fabric is not bleached?

If your fabric is not bleached, you may need to classify it under a different HS code, such as those for unbleached cotton fabrics.

Can I use HS-6 520922 for cotton fabric used in home textiles?

Yes, as long as the fabric meets the weight and composition requirements of HS-6 520922, it can be used for home textiles like curtains or cushions.

What if my fabric is a different weave type?

If your fabric has a different weave type, such as plain weave, you would need to look for the appropriate HS code that matches that specific fabric structure.

Are there any specific import regulations for HS-6 520922?

Yes, you should check with your local customs authority for any import regulations, including labeling and documentation requirements for bleached cotton fabrics.

How do I find the correct HS code for my fabric?

HS-6 520922: Fabrics, woven; containing 85% or more by weight of cotton, bleached, 3-thread or 4-thread twill, including cross twill, weighing more than 200g/m2

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.
