About fabrics, woven; containing 85% or more by weight of cotton, of yarns of different colours, of weaves n.e.c. in item no. 5209.4, weighing more than 200g/m2

HS code 520949 covers a specific type of woven cotton fabric that is widely used in the textile and apparel industries. These fabrics, containing 85% or more cotton by weight, are characterized by their unique weave patterns and higher weight, making them suitable for a variety of applications, from clothing to home furnishings. As a key component of the global textile trade, this industry plays a vital role in the broader economy, connecting producers, manufacturers, and consumers across international markets.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 520949 typically involves a multi-step process. First, cotton fibers are spun into yarns of different colors. These yarns are then woven together using specialized looms to create the desired fabric pattern, which is distinct from the weaves covered under other HS code 5209.4 subcategories. The final fabric is then finished, often through processes like dyeing, printing, or calendering, to enhance its appearance and performance characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 520949 fabrics include high-quality cotton fibers, yarn-spinning equipment, and advanced weaving machinery. Additionally, dyes, chemicals, and other finishing materials may be necessary to achieve the desired fabric properties. Skilled labor, both in the production and quality control processes, is also a critical input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 520949 is the woven cotton fabric itself, which is then consumed by various downstream industries. These fabrics may be used in the manufacture of 520942 Fabrics, woven; containing 85% or more by weight of cotton, of yarns of different colours, denim, 520951 Fabrics, woven; containing 85% or more by weight of cotton, printed, weighing more than 200g/m2, and other apparel and home textile products. The versatility of these fabrics allows them to be integrated into a wide range of consumer and industrial applications.
