About fabrics, woven; of cotton, unbleached, weighing not more than 200g/m2, n.e.c. in chapter 52

HS code 521211 covers a crucial segment of the global textile industry, encompassing unbleached cotton fabrics weighing no more than 200g/m2. These fabrics serve as essential raw materials for a wide range of downstream industries, from apparel manufacturing to home furnishings. As a foundational component of the global supply chain, the production and trade of these cotton fabrics play a significant role in the broader economy.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 521211 typically involves a series of well-established textile manufacturing processes. These include weaving, where cotton yarns are interlaced to create the desired fabric structure, and finishing operations such as singeing, desizing, and mercerization, which enhance the fabric's appearance and properties. Advancements in textile machinery and automation have streamlined the production of these cotton fabrics, enabling manufacturers to meet the growing global demand.

Production inputs

The primary input for the production of HS code 521211 fabrics is unbleached cotton fiber. Cotton is a natural, renewable, and biodegradable raw material that is widely cultivated around the world. In addition to the cotton fiber, the manufacturing process requires specialized textile machinery, such as weaving looms, dyeing and finishing equipment, and various chemical auxiliaries used in the finishing stages.

Production outputs

The fabrics produced under HS code 521211 serve as essential inputs for a variety of downstream industries. These unbleached cotton fabrics are commonly used in the manufacture of 520100 Cotton, not carded or combed, 520300 Cotton, carded or combed, and 520500 Cotton yarn, which are then further processed into a wide range of textile products, including apparel, home textiles, and industrial applications.
