Chapter 52 covers cotton and cotton textiles, including raw cotton, cotton waste, cotton carded or combed, cotton yarn, and cotton woven fabrics. This chapter is an important chapter for textile raw materials and products, covering the complete chain from primary raw materials to semi-finished and finished products. Cotton woven fabrics are further subdivided based on weaving method, weight per square meter, whether bleached, dyed, yarn-dyed, etc., and are a common commodity category in international trade. Heading 5212 includes other cotton woven fabrics, i.e., cotton woven fabrics not classified under 5210 (bleached plain weave fabrics) or 5211 (other bleached cotton fabrics), with a weight per square meter not exceeding 200 g. These fabrics are usually yarn-dyed, dyed, or printed, but specific subheadings are divided based on weight and variety. Fabrics under this heading are mostly lightweight, used in apparel, home textiles, and other fields. The first 2 digits, 52, represent Chapter 52, cotton and cotton textiles. Digits 3-4, 12, represent heading 5212, i.e., other cotton woven fabrics, with a weight per square meter not exceeding 200 g. Digits 5-6, 14, represent subheading 5212.14, specifically other yarn-dyed cotton woven fabrics, with a weight per square meter not exceeding 200 g. The 5th digit, 1, indicates processing methods other than unbleached or bleached, and the 6th digit, 4, indicates yarn-dyed. The overall code 521214 refers to other cotton woven fabrics, weight per square meter ≤200 g, yarn-dyed. This product is a yarn-dyed cotton woven fabric with a weight per square meter not exceeding 200 g, so it is classified under 5212.14. If the weight per square meter exceeds 200 g, it should be classified under 5211 or 5209, etc.; if it is bleached plain weave fabric, it should be classified under 5210; if it is dyed but not yarn-dyed, it may be classified under 5212.13, etc. Yarn-dyed is the key distinguishing point, different from dyed or printed fabrics.

Product name: Fill in the Chinese and foreign language names of the commodity, and accurately describe the fabric type, such as 'yarn-dyed cotton fabric' Weaving method: State whether it is woven or knitted; this code applies only to woven fabrics Composition content: Indicate the percentage content of cotton and whether other fibers are blended in Weight per square meter: Declare the weight per square meter, which must be ≤200 g/m² Processing technique: Describe the yarn-dyeing process in detail, such as yarns being dyed first and then woven Width: Declare the fabric width, expressed in centimeters or inches Brand: If there is a brand, declare the brand name; if there is no brand, fill in 'None' Model or article number: Provide the specific model or article number for easy identification Product name: yarn-dyed cotton fabric; weaving method: woven; composition content: 100% cotton; weight per square meter: 150 g/m²; processing technique: woven after yarn dyeing; width: 150 cm; brand: None; model: CT-2024. Mistakenly classifying knitted fabrics under this code; this code applies only to woven fabrics If the weight per square meter exceeds 200 g/m², it should be classified under 5211 or 5209 Failure to distinguish yarn-dyed from dyed; yarn-dyed means the yarn is dyed first, while dyed means the fabric is dyed afterward

The core basis for classification is: 1. Whether the fabric is a cotton woven fabric; 2. Whether the weight per square meter is ≤200 g/m²; 3. Whether the processing method is yarn-dyed. At the same time, it is necessary to consider whether it is blended with other fibers. If the cotton content is less than 85% but it is mainly blended with synthetic fibers, it may be classified under 5513, etc. Yarn-dyed is defined as yarns being dyed before weaving, with no further dyeing needed after weaving. 5210 Bleached plain weave cotton fabric: 5210 is bleached plain weave fabric, weight per square meter ≤200 g, but the processing method is bleaching, not yarn-dyed 5211 Other cotton woven fabrics, weight per square meter >200 g: 5211 has a weight per square meter exceeding 200 g, while 5212 has a weight per square meter ≤200 g 5212.13 Dyed cotton fabric: 5212.13 is dyed fabric, not yarn-dyed; yarn-dyed means the yarn is dyed 5208 Cotton woven fabrics, cotton content ≥85%, weight per square meter ≤200 g: 5208 requires cotton content ≥85%, while 5212 has cotton content <85% or is blended with other fibers Is it a woven fabric? Is the cotton content less than 85%? Is the weight per square meter ≤200 g? Is the processing method yarn-dyed? Is it blended with other fibers?

How can I check the import tariff for 521214? You can check the latest tariff through the official website of the General Administration of Customs or the International Trade Single Window. Tariff rates may change due to country, trade agreements, etc., and the official publication should prevail. What is the difference in classification between yarn-dyed and dyed fabrics? Yarn-dyed means the yarn is dyed first and then woven, and it is classified under 5212.14; dyed means the fabric is dyed after weaving, and it is classified under 5212.13. The processing techniques are different, so the classification is different. If the weight of cotton fabric is 210 g/m², which code should it be classified under? If the weight per square meter exceeds 200 g/m², it cannot be classified under 5212 and should be classified under 5211 (other cotton woven fabrics, weight per square meter >200 g). Where should a yarn-dyed fabric blended of cotton and polyester, with 60% cotton content, be classified? If the cotton content is less than 85% and it is mainly blended with synthetic fibers, it may be classified under 5513 (woven fabrics of synthetic fibers). The specific classification needs to be determined based on the blending ratio and weight per square meter. What are the consequences of omitting the weight per square meter during declaration? It may lead to classification errors, affect tariff rates and regulatory conditions, and may even result in customs rejection or penalties. Accurate declaration is essential. Does 521214 apply to printed cotton fabric? No. If printed cotton fabric has a weight per square meter ≤200 g, it should be classified under 5212.15 (printed), not yarn-dyed. How can one determine whether a fabric is yarn-dyed? Yarn-dyed means the yarn is dyed before weaving, with no further dyeing needed after weaving. It can be judged by examining the production process or the fabric appearance; yarn-dyed fabrics usually have the same color on the front and back. What certifications are required for 521214 cotton fabric exported to the EU? It must comply with EU textile labeling regulations and may require environmental certifications such as OEKO-TEX, depending on customer requirements.
