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

HS code 520821 covers a specific type of woven cotton fabric that is widely used in the textile and apparel industries. This lightweight, bleached fabric is characterized by its plain weave structure and high cotton content, making it a versatile and durable material for a range of applications. As a key component in the global textile supply chain, the production and trade of these fabrics play a significant role in the broader economy.

Production process

The production of HS 520821 fabrics typically involves a multi-step process. First, high-quality cotton fibers are carefully selected and spun into yarn. The yarn is then woven into a plain weave fabric using specialized looms. After weaving, the fabric undergoes a bleaching process to remove any natural coloration, resulting in a bright, uniform appearance. Finally, the fabric may be subjected to additional finishing treatments, such as calendering or mercerization, to enhance its properties and appearance.

Production inputs

The primary input for the production of HS 520821 fabrics is high-quality cotton fiber. Manufacturers also require access to specialized weaving machinery, such as shuttle looms or projectile looms, as well as chemicals and equipment for the bleaching and finishing processes. Additionally, skilled labor, energy, and water resources are essential for the efficient and sustainable production of these fabrics.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS 520821 fabrics is their use in the manufacture of a wide range of textile products, including clothing, home furnishings, and industrial applications. These fabrics may be further processed or combined with other materials to create finished goods that fall under various other HS codes, such as 6203 (Men's or boys' suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than swimwear)) and 6302 Bedlinen, table linen, toilet linen and kitchen linen.
