Last updated: July 2026 dataPiece-dyeing after weaving distinguishes these cotton-blend artificial staple fiber fabrics from their unbleached, yarn-dyed, and printed counterparts — a finishing-method distinction that is classification-determinative across the entire 5516 heading group. Italy leads US imports, with Turkey and China also significant sources, pointing to a supply base that spans both high-end fashion fabrics and commodity apparel textiles. The US schedule includes a dedicated line for duck fabric (5516420050) alongside poplin/broadcloth, sheeting by width, satin/twill, and NESOI lines, so weave type and width remain critical specification points even after the dyeing method is confirmed. Importers sourcing from China should be aware that these fabrics may be subject to Section 301 tariffs in addition to the column 1 rate.

Duck is a heavy, plain-woven fabric with a tight construction used in workwear, bags, and industrial applications. Its dedicated line (5516420050) reflects that it is commercially and technically distinct from sheeting or broadcloth constructions, and importers should confirm fabric weight and thread count to distinguish duck from other plain-weave fabrics that would fall under the NESOI or sheeting lines.
A solid-color fabric is almost always piece-dyed, but importers should obtain a finishing process declaration from the mill confirming that color was applied uniformly by immersion or pad dyeing rather than by screen or rotary printing. CBP can distinguish the two methods through physical examination, and misclassification between dyed and printed lines is a recurring audit finding in textile entries.
