Last updated: July 2026 dataAbrasive grain bonded to a woven textile backing — commonly called cloth-backed sandpaper or abrasive cloth — serves demanding metalworking, woodworking, and surface-preparation applications where flexibility and tear resistance are required. Germany is the leading supplier to the US under this heading, consistent with its dominant position in precision abrasive manufacturing, with Mexico and South Korea also significant sources. All US imports enter under a single tariff line, 6805100000. The woven-fabric substrate distinguishes these products from paper-backed (heading 680520) and other-base coated abrasives (heading 680530), making substrate identification the pivotal classification step.

Heading 680510 is limited to a base of woven textile fabric only. Products backed with nonwoven fabric, vulcanized fiber, or combination substrates fall under heading 680530 (other base materials). Importers should obtain substrate composition specifications from the manufacturer to support correct classification.
Product form — belt, disc, sheet, or roll — does not change the heading classification; what matters is the base material. Abrasive belts, discs, and sheets all fall under 680510 when the backing is woven textile fabric, and all enter under tariff line 6805100000 in the US schedule.
