Jacquard weaves are produced on a jacquard loom that individually controls warp threads to create complex figured or decorative patterns woven directly into the fabric structure. Other yarn-dyed constructions — such as plain, twill, or dobby weaves using colored yarns — fall into the NESOI line. The mill's loom type and weave specification sheet are the most reliable documentation for making this distinction at entry.

Thailand has developed significant capacity in specialty woven fabrics using non-polyester synthetics such as viscose and nylon blended with cotton, often targeting home textile and fashion fabric markets. Its prominence here — ahead of higher-volume textile exporters like China — reflects product specialization rather than overall textile export scale.
