About fabrics, woven; of cotton, bleached, weighing more than 200g/m2, n.e.c. in chapter 52

HS code 521222 covers a significant segment of the global textile industry, encompassing woven cotton fabrics that are bleached and weigh more than 200g/m2. These fabrics are widely used in the production of a variety of textile products, from apparel to home furnishings, and play a crucial role in international trade and the broader economy.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 521222 typically involves a multi-step process. First, raw cotton fibers are spun into yarn, which is then woven into a fabric. The fabric is then subjected to a bleaching process, which removes natural pigments and impurities, resulting in a clean, white or off-white material. Finally, the fabric may undergo additional finishing processes, such as dyeing, printing, or treatment, to impart specific properties or aesthetic qualities.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the production of fabrics under HS code 521222 include raw cotton fibers, which serve as the main raw material. Additionally, the industry relies on various chemicals and dyes for the bleaching and finishing processes, as well as specialized machinery and equipment for weaving, dyeing, and finishing the fabrics. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also essential for powering the production facilities.

Production outputs

Fabrics classified under HS code 521222 are primarily used as inputs for the production of a wide range of textile products, including 520100 Cotton, not carded or combed, 520511 Cotton yarn, single, of uncombed fibers, 85% or more cotton, not exceeding 14 metric number, and 620520 Men's or boys' shirts, of cotton. These fabrics may also be used in the manufacture of home textiles, such as curtains, upholstery, and bedding.
