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

HS code 521120 covers a broad category of woven fabrics that contain less than 85% cotton by weight and are primarily mixed with man-made fibers. These fabrics are characterized by a weight exceeding 200g/m2 and a bleached appearance. This industry plays a crucial role in the global textile and apparel supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the production of a wide range of clothing, home furnishings, and industrial applications.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 521120 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, including cotton and man-made fibers, are spun into yarns. These yarns are then woven on specialized looms to create the desired fabric structure. The woven fabric is then subjected to a bleaching process, which removes any natural pigments and impurities, resulting in a clean, uniform appearance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of fabrics under HS code 521120 include cotton and man-made fibers, such as polyester, nylon, or rayon. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized weaving machinery, dyeing and finishing equipment, and various chemical agents used in the bleaching and finishing processes. Energy, water, and skilled labor are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The fabrics produced under HS code 521120 are primarily used in the manufacture of clothing, including shirts, blouses, dresses, and trousers. They may also be used in the production of home textiles, such as curtains, upholstery, and bedding. These fabrics may be further processed and consumed by 611000 Apparel, knitted or crocheted and 621000 Apparel, not knitted or crocheted industries.
