About fabrics, woven; containing 85% or more by weight of cotton, unbleached, 3-thread or 4-thread twill, including cross twill, weighing more than 200g/m2

HS code 520912 covers a specific type of woven cotton fabric that is unbleached, has a 3-thread or 4-thread twill weave, and weighs more than 200g/m2. This fabric is an essential component in the textile and apparel industries, providing a durable and versatile material for a wide range of applications, from clothing and home furnishings to industrial uses. As a key player in the global textile trade, the production and export of this fabric type contribute significantly to the overall economy.

Production process

The production of HS code 520912 fabrics involves a series of specialized weaving techniques. The raw cotton fibers are first spun into yarns, which are then woven together using a loom to create the desired 3-thread or 4-thread twill weave pattern. The unbleached nature of the fabric is achieved by skipping the bleaching process, resulting in a natural, off-white appearance. Finally, the woven fabric is finished, often with additional treatments or coatings, to meet the specific requirements of the end-use application.

Production inputs

The primary input for the production of HS code 520912 fabrics is high-quality cotton fiber. Manufacturers also require specialized weaving machinery, such as shuttleless looms, to achieve the desired twill weave pattern. Additionally, various chemicals and dyes may be used in the finishing process to impart specific properties or aesthetics to the fabric.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 520912 is the woven cotton fabric itself, which is then used as an input for a variety of downstream industries. This fabric is commonly used in the production of clothing, such as shirts, pants, and jackets, as well as in the manufacture of home textiles, like curtains and upholstery. Additionally, the fabric may be used in industrial applications, such as 540710 Woven fabrics of man-made filament yarn or 540710 Woven fabrics of man-made staple fibers.
