Chapter 52 covers woven fabrics of cotton and woven fabrics of cotton mixed with other textile fibers, including pure cotton fabrics and cotton blended fabrics. This chapter is further subdivided by cotton content, fabric weave, weight per square meter, dyeing and finishing processes, etc. Heading 5211 belongs to woven fabrics containing less than 85% cotton, mainly or solely mixed with man-made fibers, and weighing more than 200 g/m². Heading 5211 includes woven fabrics containing less than 85% cotton, mainly or solely mixed with man-made fibers, and weighing more than 200 g/m². Under this heading, fabrics are further subdivided by fabric weave (plain weave, twill, etc.), dyeing and finishing method (bleached, dyed, etc.), and specific blending ratios. First 2 digits 52: Chapter 52, cotton and woven fabrics of cotton. Digits 3-4, 11: Heading 5211, woven fabrics of cotton containing less than 85% cotton mixed with man-made fibers, weighing more than 200 g/m². Digits 5-6, 32: Subheading 521132, dyed twill woven fabrics, i.e., four-thread or three-thread twill, including cross twill, dyed. This product is a dyed twill woven fabric, containing less than 85% cotton, mixed with man-made fibers, weighing more than 200 g/m². Because the cotton content is less than 85% and it is mixed with man-made fibers, it is classified under 5211 rather than 5209 (cotton ≥ 85%); because it weighs more than 200 g/m², it is classified under 5211 rather than 5210 (≤ 200 g/m²); because it is dyed and is twill, it is classified under 521132 rather than 521131 (bleached) or 521139 (other weaves).

Product name: Fill in the standard name of the product, such as "dyed cotton twill woven fabric"; avoid using common names or vague names. Weaving method: Explain the fabric weaving method, such as "woven", and specify the twill weave (e.g., 2/1 twill). Dyeing and finishing method: Specify dyeing (e.g., "dyed"), to distinguish it from bleaching, yarn-dyed, etc. Composition content: List all fiber components by weight percentage, such as 60% cotton and 40% polyester, and ensure cotton is less than 85%. Weight per square meter: Fill in the weight per square meter in g/m², which must be greater than 200. Width: Fill in the fabric width in centimeters; it affects classification but is not decisive. Brand: If there is a brand, fill in the brand name; if no brand, fill in "none". Model or article number: Fill in the manufacturer's model or article number for easy identification. Product name: dyed cotton twill woven fabric; weaving method: woven, 2/1 twill; dyeing and finishing method: dyed; composition content: 60% cotton, 40% polyester; weight per square meter: 220 g/m²; width: 150 cm; brand: none; model: CT-220. Misreporting the cotton content as ≥ 85%, resulting in incorrect classification under 5209. Failing to specify twill weave, which may result in classification under 521139 (other weaves). Mistakenly filling in the weight per square meter as ≤ 200 g/m², resulting in classification under 5210. Misreporting the dyeing and finishing method as bleached, which should be classified under 521131.

Core basis for classification: 1) cotton content < 85%; 2) mainly or solely mixed with man-made fibers; 3) weight per square meter > 200 g/m²; 4) twill weave; 5) dyed. Only when all four conditions are met simultaneously is it classified under 521132. If cotton ≥ 85%, it is classified under 5209; if the weight per square meter is ≤ 200 g/m², it is classified under 5210; if it is plain weave, it is classified under 521139; if bleached, it is classified under 521131. 520932 Dyed cotton twill woven fabric, cotton ≥ 85%, weight per square meter > 200 g/m²: Cotton content ≥ 85%, classified under 5209, whereas 521132 has cotton content < 85%. 521031 Bleached cotton plain weave fabric, cotton < 85% mixed with man-made fibers, weight per square meter ≤ 200 g/m²: Weight per square meter ≤ 200 g/m² and plain weave, classified under 5210, whereas 521132 has weight per square meter > 200 g/m² and is twill. 521131 Bleached cotton twill woven fabric, cotton < 85% mixed with man-made fibers, weight per square meter > 200 g/m²: The dyeing and finishing method is bleaching, whereas 521132 is dyed. 521139 Other dyed cotton woven fabrics, cotton < 85% mixed with man-made fibers, weight per square meter > 200 g/m²: The fabric weave is not twill (e.g., plain weave, satin weave), whereas 521132 specifically refers to twill. 551512 Dyed man-made fiber twill woven fabric, man-made fibers ≥ 85%: Man-made fiber content ≥ 85%, classified under Chapter 55, whereas in 521132 man-made fibers are a secondary blending component. Is the cotton content < 85%? Is it mainly or solely mixed with man-made fibers? Is the weight per square meter > 200 g/m²? Is the fabric weave twill? Is the dyeing and finishing method dyeing?

How can I check the import tariff rate for 521132? You can use the official website of the General Administration of Customs, China International Trade Single Window, or professional tariff query tools, enter HS code 521132, and check the most-favored-nation rate, general rate, value-added tax, and consumption tax. Note that tariff rates may be adjusted with policy changes, and the latest official data should prevail. If the cotton content is exactly 85%, which code should it be classified under? If the cotton content is ≥ 85%, it should be classified under heading 5209 of Chapter 52 (woven fabrics of cotton ≥ 85%), and the specific subheading is determined by weight, weave, and dyeing and finishing. 521132 requires cotton content < 85%, so 85% is the threshold and requires precise testing. How is twill weave defined? Twill weave refers to a weave in which the warp and weft yarns interlace at least every two yarns, and the fabric surface has diagonal lines. Common examples include 2/1, 3/1, 2/2, etc. If it is plain weave or satin weave, it cannot be classified under 521132. How is weight per square meter measured? Take a representative sample, condition it under standard temperature and humidity, cut a certain area (e.g., 100 cm²), weigh it, and convert to g/m². Note that edge yarns should be removed, and multiple measurements should be averaged. How are dyed and yarn-dyed distinguished? Dyed means the fabric is woven first and then dyed; yarn-dyed means the yarn is dyed first and then woven. 521132 specifically refers to dyed, and yarn-dyed fabrics should be classified under other subheadings (such as 521041, etc.). Does the type of blended man-made fiber affect classification? 521132 only requires blending with man-made fibers and does not limit the type of man-made fiber (polyester, nylon, etc. are all acceptable). However, if the man-made fiber content is ≥ 85%, it is classified under Chapter 55 rather than 521132. How should the composition content be declared during customs declaration? All fiber components must be listed by weight percentage, such as 60% cotton and 40% polyester, and the total must be 100%. If a small amount of other fibers (such as spandex) is included, it must also be listed. What is the main difference between 521132 and 521131? 521131 is bleached twill fabric, and 521132 is dyed twill fabric. Bleaching refers to making the fabric white through a bleaching process, while dyeing refers to coloring through a dyeing process. The two processes are different, and their classification is different.
