About fabrics, woven; containing 85% or more by weight of cotton, unbleached, plain weave, weighing not more than 100g/m2

HS code 520811 covers a specific type of woven cotton fabric that is unbleached, has a plain weave, and weighs no more than 100g/m2. This fabric is a fundamental component in the global textile and apparel industry, serving as a versatile raw material for a wide range of products. Its high cotton content and lightweight nature make it suitable for a variety of applications, from clothing and home furnishings to industrial uses. As a key input for many downstream industries, the production and trade of this fabric plays a significant role in the broader economy.

Production process

The production of HS code 520811 fabrics typically involves a multi-step process. First, raw cotton fibers are spun into yarn using specialized machinery. The yarns are then woven together on looms to create the unbleached, plain-weave fabric. This weaving process is carefully controlled to ensure the desired weight, texture, and overall quality of the final product. After weaving, the fabric may undergo additional finishing treatments, such as singeing, to remove any surface fibers and create a smooth, uniform appearance.

Production inputs

The primary input for the production of HS code 520811 fabrics is raw cotton. High-quality cotton fibers are essential for creating the desired characteristics of the fabric, such as its strength, softness, and breathability. In addition to the raw cotton, the production process requires specialized machinery, including spinning machines, looms, and finishing equipment. Energy, water, and various chemicals and dyes may also be used in the manufacturing and finishing stages.
