Heading 5211 — Woven fabrics of cotton, containing less than 85% by weight of cotton, mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibres, weighing more than 200g/m2
Chapter 52: Cotton
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 521111 when importing or exporting unbleached woven fabrics made from cotton and primarily man-made fibers, weighing more than 200 grams per square meter. For example, this code applies to a shipment of unbleached cotton-polyester blend fabric intended for making work uniforms.
This code is distinct from HS-6 521112, which covers similar fabrics but in a bleached state. If your fabric is treated to remove color, you would need to classify it under 521112 instead.
The 521111 subheading specifically targets fabrics that contain less than 85% cotton, ensuring that the primary fiber is synthetic. This is crucial for classification, as fabrics with a higher cotton content would fall under different codes.
When assessing your product, consider the weight and fiber composition. If your fabric is a plain weave and unbleached, and it meets the weight requirement, it likely falls under this HS-6 line.
