About fabrics, woven; containing less than 85% by weight of cotton, mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibres, weighing 200g/m2 or less, printed, plain weave

HS code 521051 covers a specific type of woven fabric that is widely used in the textile and apparel industries. These fabrics are characterized by their low cotton content, typically less than 85% by weight, and their predominant composition of man-made fibers. With a weight of 200g/m2 or less and a plain weave structure, these fabrics are versatile and suitable for a range of applications, from clothing to home furnishings. Understanding the production and trade dynamics of this HS code is crucial for businesses involved in the global textile supply chain.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 521051 involves a series of well-established textile manufacturing processes. The primary raw materials, including man-made fibers and a small percentage of cotton, are first spun into yarns. These yarns are then woven into a plain weave fabric structure, which is subsequently printed with various designs and patterns. The printing process can involve techniques such as screen printing, digital printing, or rotary printing, depending on the desired aesthetic and production requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 521051 fabrics include man-made fibers, such as polyester, nylon, or rayon, as well as a small proportion of cotton fibers. Additionally, the production process requires specialized weaving machinery, printing equipment, and various chemicals and dyes used in the printing and finishing stages. The availability and quality of these raw materials and production equipment are crucial factors in determining the competitiveness and output of this industry.

Production outputs

Fabrics classified under HS code 521051 are primarily used in the manufacture of a wide range of textile products, including clothing, home textiles, and industrial applications. These fabrics may be further processed or combined with other materials to create finished goods such as 620520 Men's or boys' shirts, of cotton, 630231 Bed linen, of cotton, or 630260 Toilet linen and kitchen linen, of terry towelling or similar terry fabrics, of cotton. The versatility and affordability of these printed, lightweight fabrics make them a popular choice for both domestic and international markets.
