Bleached woven fabrics of cotton are a type of textile that falls under the HS Code 52082960. These fabrics are classified as "not elsewhere specified or included" (nesoi) and contain 85% or more cotton by weight. They have a maximum weight of 200 grams per square meter (g/m2) and are numbered between 43-68.
When it comes to trade, countries often impose different duty rates on imported goods. However, under the Most Favored Nation (MFN) principle, every time a country lowers a trade barrier or opens up a market, it has to do so for the same goods or services from all its trading partners. In the case of HS Code 52082960, the bound or MFN duty rate is 10.2%.
The quantity unit used for measuring these fabrics is square meters (M2). This unit helps in determining the area of the fabric and is commonly used in the textile industry.
There are also special tariff preference programs in place for certain countries. For example, Bahrain (BH), Canada (CA), Chile (CL), Israel (IL), Jordan (JO), Mexico (MX), Oman (OM), Panama (P), Peru (PE), and Singapore (SG) enjoy duty-free treatment when importing bleached woven fabrics of cotton under HS Code 52082960. Australia (AU) benefits from a special rate of 3% duty, while Morocco (MA) enjoys a special rate of 1%.
When it comes to importing these fabrics into the United States, there are no specific restrictions on which states can receive them. Any state in the US can import bleached woven fabrics of cotton under HS Code 52082960. Similarly, these fabrics can be exported from any state in the US to other countries.
HS Code 52082960 covers bleached woven fabrics of cotton that meet specific requirements regarding cotton content, weight, and numbering. This code helps in classifying and tracking these fabrics during international trade. Understanding the HS code and its associated information is crucial for importers, exporters, and policymakers in facilitating smooth and transparent trade transactions.
