CHAPTER

52Cotton

In plain English

This category covers woven cotton fabrics that are at least 200 grams per square meter and contain less than 85 percent cotton, with the remainder being primarily or exclusively man-made fibers. The items are sorted by their surface treatment, including unbleached, bleached, dyed, printed, or made from yarns of different colors. Within each treatment type, the goods are further divided based on the specific weave structure, such as plain weave, twill, or other weaves not otherwise specified.

Chapter 52 classification notes

Chapter 52 covers significant US, BR, IN, CN, PK trade flows. UFLPA (Uyghur Forced Labour Prevention Act) bars Xinjiang-origin cotton from US imports — supply-chain documentation now mandatory.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Cotton/poly blends — under 85% cotton content classification depends on dominant fibre by weight.
