Last updated: April 2026 dataWoven cotton fabrics are a foundational input for the US apparel, home textiles, and industrial goods sectors, and imports in this category are widely sourced from global textile-producing regions. Classification within cotton cloth depends on thread count, yarn number, weight, and whether the fabric is bleached, dyed, printed, or of yarns of different colors — distinctions that directly determine the applicable HTS subheading and duty rate. Quota and safeguard frameworks have historically applied to cotton textiles, and importers should verify current textile visa or certificate-of-origin requirements for specific origin countries. Accurate fabric specification documentation is essential to avoid reclassification at the port of entry.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Thread count per square centimeter, metric yarn number, fabric weight (grams per square meter), and finishing treatment (greige, bleached, printed, or yarn-dyed) are the primary technical factors. Even small differences in these specifications can shift a fabric into a different HTS subheading with a materially different duty rate.
Requirements vary by country of origin. Some countries with which the US has bilateral textile agreements or that are subject to import monitoring programs require a textile visa or an export license issued by the exporting country's government. Importers should confirm current requirements with CBP or a licensed customs broker before shipment.
