Chapter 52: Cotton
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 521021 when importing or exporting bleached woven fabrics made from cotton mixed with man-made fibers, weighing 200 grams per square meter or less. An example would be a shipment of lightweight cotton-polyester blend fabric used for summer clothing.
This code specifically covers fabrics that are predominantly synthetic but contain a small percentage of cotton, distinguishing it from HS-6 521022, which includes similar fabrics that are dyed rather than bleached. If your fabric is dyed, you would need to use the latter code.
The 521021 line is part of a broader category under 5210, which includes woven fabrics of cotton mixed with synthetic fibers. This heading narrows down to those fabrics that are bleached and have a plain weave structure, making it essential for accurate classification.
When considering this HS-6, note that it applies to fabrics with a specific weight limit. If your fabric exceeds 200 g/m2, you would need to look at other classifications within the same heading.
