Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 521041 when importing or exporting woven fabrics made from cotton and man-made fibers, specifically those weighing 200 g/m2 or less. An example would be a shipment of colorful cotton-polyester blend fabric used for making lightweight shirts.
This code is distinct from HS-6 521042, which covers similar fabrics but specifically those containing more than 85% cotton. If your fabric blend leans heavily towards cotton, you’ll need to classify it differently.
The HS-6 521041 line includes fabrics that are woven in a plain weave pattern, often featuring vibrant colors. These fabrics are commonly used in apparel, home textiles, and craft projects, making them versatile for various applications.
When considering this code, remember that the weight and fiber composition are key factors. Fabrics that exceed 200 g/m2 or have a higher cotton content will fall under different classifications.
