Chapter 52: Cotton
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 521120 when importing or exporting bleached woven fabrics made from cotton that contain less than 85% cotton by weight, primarily mixed with synthetic fibers. For example, a shipment of bleached cotton-polyester blend fabric weighing 250g/m2 falls under this code.
This code is specific to fabrics that are not predominantly cotton, distinguishing it from HS-6 521130, which covers similar fabrics but is unbleached. If your fabric is bleached and weighs over 200g/m2, 521120 is the correct classification.
The fabrics classified under this code are often used in apparel, home textiles, and industrial applications. They can be found in products like bleached cotton-polyester shirts or curtains made from cotton-viscose blends.
When determining the correct HS code, consider the weight and composition of your fabric. If your product contains more than 85% cotton, you may need to look at other classifications, like HS-6 520911 for woven cotton fabrics.
