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

HS code 521212 covers a crucial segment of the global textile industry, encompassing woven cotton fabrics that are bleached and weigh no more than 200g/m2. These fabrics are widely used in the production of a variety of textile products, from apparel to home furnishings, making them an essential component of the broader 50 Textile industry. The demand for these fabrics is driven by factors such as consumer preferences, fashion trends, and the need for cost-effective, durable, and versatile textile materials.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 521212 typically involves a multi-step process. First, raw cotton fibers are spun into yarn, which is then woven into a fabric using specialized weaving machines. The woven fabric is then subjected to a bleaching process, which removes any natural coloration and impurities, resulting in a clean, white, and uniform material. This process may involve the use of chemical agents, such as hydrogen peroxide or sodium hypochlorite, to achieve the desired level of whiteness and brightness.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the production of fabrics under HS code 521212 include raw cotton fibers, which serve as the main raw material. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized weaving machinery, such as looms, as well as various chemicals and auxiliaries used in the bleaching process. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also essential for powering the production equipment and facilities.
