Chapter 52 covers cotton and cotton woven fabrics, including raw cotton, cotton waste, cotton carded or combed, cotton yarn, and cotton woven fabrics. This chapter does not include wadding, felt, and nonwovens (Chapter 56), nor does it include special woven fabrics (Chapter 58) and knitted fabrics (Chapter 60). Cotton woven fabrics are further subdivided by cotton content, weave, weight per unit area, and blending ratio. Heading 5211 covers cotton woven fabrics containing less than 85% by weight of cotton, mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibres, weighing more than 200g/m². Fabrics under this heading are typically used for garments, home textiles, and industrial fabrics, and their classification must simultaneously satisfy three conditions: cotton content, blending material, and grammage. First 2 digits 52: indicates Chapter 52, i.e., cotton and cotton woven fabrics. Digits 3-4, 11: indicates heading 5211, i.e., cotton woven fabrics containing <85% cotton and mixed with man-made fibres, weighing >200g/m². Digits 5-6, 11: indicates subheading 521111, specifically plain weave cotton fabrics, i.e., unbleached (grey) plain weave fabrics. If bleached, dyed, or printed, they are classified under subheadings 521112 to 521115, etc. This product contains <85% cotton, is mixed with man-made fibres, weighs >200g/m², and is plain weave, unbleached, therefore classified under 521111. If cotton content is ≥85%, it should be classified under 5209; if grammage is ≤200g/m², it should be classified under 5210; if bleached or dyed, it should be classified under other subheadings under 5211.

Product Name: The standard name should be declared, such as "cotton plain weave grey fabric", with cotton content and blending composition noted. Composition Content: Declare the specific content of cotton and man-made fibres by weight percentage, such as "cotton 60%, polyester 40%". Weave: Declare the fabric weave, such as plain, twill, satin, etc. This code requires plain weave. Grammage: Declare the weight per unit area in g/m², which must be greater than 200g/m². Dyeing and Finishing State: Declare whether bleached, dyed, printed, etc. This code is unbleached. Width: Declare the fabric width in centimeters, which affects classification and tariff rates. Brand and Model: If there is a brand or model, it should be declared; if no brand, fill in "none". Product Name: cotton plain weave grey fabric; Composition Content: cotton 60%, polyester 40%; Weave: plain; Grammage: 210g/m²; Dyeing and Finishing State: unbleached; Width: 150cm; Brand: none; Model: none. Ignoring the grammage unit, mistakenly filling g/m² as g/m or oz/yd². The blending ratio is not precise to one decimal place, leading to classification deviation. Confusing plain weave with twill weave, affecting subheading determination.

The core basis for classification is: cotton content <85%, mixed with man-made fibres, grammage >200g/m², plain weave, unbleached. It is necessary to simultaneously satisfy the notes to Chapter 52 of the Tariff and the subheading provisions, and refer to the Explanatory Notes to the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System. If the blending material is not man-made fibres, or the grammage does not meet the standard, it is classified under other headings. 5209 Cotton woven fabrics, cotton content ≥85%, grammage >200g/m²: Different cotton content: 5209 requires cotton content ≥85%, while 5211 requires cotton content <85%. 5210 Cotton woven fabrics, cotton content <85%, mixed with man-made fibres, grammage ≤200g/m²: Different grammage: 5210 is ≤200g/m², 5211 is >200g/m². 5211.12 Plain weave cotton fabrics, cotton content <85%, mixed with man-made fibres, grammage >200g/m², bleached: Different dyeing and finishing state: 5211.12 is bleached, 5211.11 is unbleached. 5212 Other cotton woven fabrics, cotton content <85%, mixed with man-made fibres, grammage >200g/m², but not plain weave: Different weave: 5212 covers non-plain weaves, such as twill and satin. Is the cotton content <85%? Is it mixed with man-made fibres? Is the grammage >200g/m²? Is it plain weave? Is it unbleached?

How to inquire about the import tariff rate for 521111? It can be inquired through the official website of the General Administration of Customs or the "Import and Export Tariff of the People's Republic of China". The tariff rate will be adjusted with free trade agreements and policies. It is recommended to use the official tariff inquiry tool or consult a customs broker. Which code is plain weave fabric with 85% cotton classified under? If cotton content is ≥85% and grammage is >200g/m², it should be classified under 5209, with the specific subheading depending on whether it is bleached, dyed, etc. If the grammage is exactly 200g/m², is it classified under 5210 or 5211? Grammage ≤200g/m² is classified under 5210, >200g/m² is classified under 5211, therefore 200g/m² should be classified under 5210. If the blending material is viscose fibre, does it belong to man-made fibres? Viscose fibre belongs to man-made fibres, therefore plain weave fabric blended with viscose, containing <85% cotton and weighing >200g/m², is classified under 5211. How to fill in the composition content when declaring? The percentages of cotton and man-made fibres should be filled in, such as "cotton 60%, polyester 40%", and ensure the total is 100%. Which subheading is bleached plain weave fabric classified under? Bleached plain weave fabric is classified under 521112, unbleached under 521111. Does this code apply to knitted fabrics? No, knitted fabrics are classified under Chapter 60, 5211 only applies to woven fabrics. How to determine plain weave? Plain weave refers to warp and weft yarns interlacing one over one under. It can be observed with a magnifying glass or by referring to a weave diagram, and if necessary, sent for testing.
