About woven fabrics of cotton, containing 85% or more by weight of cotton, weighing not more than 200 g/m2

HS code 5208 covers a wide range of woven cotton fabrics that are essential to various industries, including textiles, apparel, and home furnishings. These fabrics, containing 85% or more cotton by weight and weighing no more than 200 g/m2, are highly versatile and in high demand globally. They play a crucial role in the global textile supply chain, supporting the production of a diverse range of consumer and industrial products.

Production process

The production of HS 5208 fabrics typically involves a multi-step process. First, cotton fibers are spun into yarn using advanced spinning techniques.

Depending on the desired characteristics, the fabric may undergo additional finishing processes, such as dyeing, printing, or chemical treatment, to enhance its properties and appearance.

Production inputs

The primary input for the production of HS 5208 fabrics is high-quality cotton fiber. Manufacturers also require access to modern weaving and finishing equipment, as well as a skilled workforce to operate the machinery and ensure consistent quality. Additionally, various chemicals, dyes, and other auxiliary materials may be used in the finishing stages to impart specific characteristics to the final fabric.

Production outputs

HS 5208 fabrics are the primary output of this industry and are widely used in the production of a variety of textile and apparel products, such as 5211 Woven fabrics of cotton, containing less than 85% by weight of cotton, mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibers, weighing more than 200 g/m2, 6203 (Men's or boys' suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than swimwear)), and 6204 (Women's or girls' suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than swimwear)).
