Last updated: September 2026 dataGreige and bleached states define this subheading: fabrics have not yet received dyeing, printing, or yarn-color differentiation, making them intermediate textile inputs typically destined for further finishing or conversion. The US schedule is unusually granular here, with separate 10-digit lines for poplin/broadcloth (5516410010), sheeting by width (5516410022 for widths over 127 cm, 5516410027 for other), satin/twill weaves (5516410060), and a residual NESOI line (5516410090). South Korea leads US imports under this heading, followed by Italy and Turkey, reflecting both volume-oriented mill capacity and specialty fabric production. Weave construction and fabric width are classification-determinative at the 10-digit level, so technical fabric specifications must be confirmed before entry.

The US schedule splits sheeting constructions into widths greater than 127 cm (5516410022) and other widths (5516410027). This means importers must confirm the actual woven width of the fabric — not the finished or cut width — and document it on the commercial invoice to support the correct 10-digit classification.
Poplin and broadcloth are plain-weave constructions with a fine rib effect, while satin and twill weaves have distinct interlacing patterns recognizable by thread float sequences. A licensed textile testing laboratory can provide a weave analysis report, which CBP may request to verify the correct 10-digit line. When the weave does not fit a named construction, the NESOI line (5516410090) applies.
