Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "52" represent cotton.

Specifically, the HS code "52" chapter covers cotton and its products, including:

• 5201 Cotton
• 5202 Cotton waste
• 5203 Waste cotton
• 5204 Cotton yarn
• 5205 Cotton thread
• 5206 Cotton fabrics
• 5207 Cotton bed sheets, tablecloths, towels, handkerchiefs, etc.
• 5208 Cotton clothing and wearing apparel
• 5209 Other cotton products
• 5210 Cotton goods for use in cotton
• 5211 Cotton carpets and mats

Therefore, if the main component of the product is cotton, or it is mainly made of cotton, its HS code is likely to start with "52".

To determine a more precise HS code, it is also necessary to consider the specific composition, use, structure, and other factors of the product.
