Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 521224 when importing or exporting heavy woven cotton fabrics made from yarns of different colors, typically weighing over 200 grams per square meter. For example, if you are shipping a roll of colorful cotton canvas used for outdoor tents, this code applies.
This code specifically covers woven fabrics of cotton that are heavier than 200g/m2 and made from yarns of various colors. It differs from HS-6 521223, which includes lighter fabrics under the same heading but weighs less than 200g/m2.
When classifying your products, be aware that HS-6 521224 is for fabrics not elsewhere classified (n.e.c.) within chapter 52. This means it encompasses unique cotton fabric types that don’t fit into other specific categories.
If you are dealing with cotton fabrics that are dyed or printed in multiple colors and exceed the weight threshold, this HS code is essential for proper customs clearance and tariff application.
