Chapter 52: Cotton
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 521031 when importing or exporting dyed woven fabrics made from cotton and man-made fibers, weighing 200 g/m2 or less. For example, a shipment of lightweight cotton-polyester blend fabric used for summer clothing fits this classification.
This code specifically covers fabrics that contain less than 85% cotton by weight, distinguishing it from HS-6 521032, which includes similar fabrics but with a higher cotton content. If your fabric has more than 85% cotton, you will need to classify it differently.
Woven fabrics under this code are typically dyed and feature a plain weave, making them suitable for various applications such as shirts, dresses, or lightweight upholstery. If your fabric is printed or has a different weave, consider other classifications.
When classifying, pay attention to the weight and fiber content. Fabrics exceeding 200 g/m2 or those containing a higher percentage of cotton should be checked against other HS codes in the 5210 heading.
