About fabrics, woven; containing 85% or more by weight of cotton, unbleached, plain weave, weighing more than 200g/m2

HS code 520911 covers a crucial segment of the global textile industry, encompassing unbleached, plain-weave cotton fabrics that weigh more than 200g/m2. These fabrics are widely used in a variety of applications, from apparel and home furnishings to industrial textiles, making them an essential component of the broader import/export landscape.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 520911 typically involves a multi-step process. First, raw cotton fibers are spun into yarn using specialized machinery. The yarns are then woven into a plain-weave fabric using power looms. The fabric is left unbleached, maintaining its natural color and texture. Finally, the fabric may undergo additional finishing processes, such as dyeing, printing, or chemical treatment, depending on the intended end-use.

Production inputs

The primary input for the production of HS code 520911 fabrics is high-quality, unprocessed cotton fibers. These fibers are sourced from major cotton-producing regions around the world. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized weaving machinery, such as power looms, as well as various chemicals and dyes for finishing processes.

Production outputs
