About fabrics, woven; containing 85% or more by weight of cotton, unbleached, plain weave, weighing more than 200g/m2

HS code 520911 covers a vital segment of the global textile industry, encompassing unbleached, plain-weave cotton fabrics weighing more than 200g/m2. These fabrics are widely used in a range of applications, from clothing and home furnishings to industrial textiles, making them an essential component of the broader import/export trade. Understanding the production, inputs, and outputs of this industry provides valuable insights into the dynamics of the global textile supply chain.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 520911 involves a series of well-established textile manufacturing techniques. The process typically begins with the spinning of cotton fibers into yarn, which is then woven into a plain-weave fabric using power looms. The fabric is then left unbleached, preserving its natural color and texture. This production method ensures the fabric's durability and versatility, making it suitable for a wide range of end-uses.

Production inputs

The primary input for the production of HS code 520911 fabrics is high-quality, unprocessed cotton fiber. Manufacturers also require access to specialized weaving machinery, such as power looms, as well as various auxiliary materials like sizing agents, lubricants, and dyes (if the fabric is to be dyed). Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating the production equipment and maintaining quality standards.

Production outputs

The primary output of the HS code 520911 industry is unbleached, plain-weave cotton fabric weighing more than 200g/m2. These fabrics are often used as raw materials by manufacturers of 520929 Fabrics, woven; containing 85% or more by weight of cotton, unbleached, other than plain weave, weighing more than 200g/m2, 520931 Fabrics, woven; containing 85% or more by weight of cotton, bleached, plain weave, weighing more than 200g/m2, and 520939 Fabrics, woven; containing 85% or more by weight of cotton, bleached, other than plain weave, weighing more than 200g/m2, among other textile products.
