Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 521149 when importing or exporting woven fabrics made from cotton and man-made fibers, specifically those weighing over 200 grams per square meter. For example, a shipment of a colorful woven fabric blend used in upholstery might fall under this code.
This code is distinct from HS-6 521141, which covers similar fabrics but specifically those containing predominantly polyester. If your fabric blend includes a higher cotton content or different fiber mixes, you may need to look at other subheadings.
The HS-6 521149 line specifically addresses fabrics woven from cotton mixed with synthetic fibers, where cotton content is less than 85%. These fabrics often feature vibrant colors and unique weaves, making them suitable for various applications, including fashion and home textiles.
When classifying your product, consider if it meets the weight requirement of over 200g/m2 and whether it features a mix of yarns in different colors. If your fabric is lighter or has a different fiber composition, you might need to explore other classifications.
