U.S. imports of woven cotton fabrics, under 85% cotton, mixed with manmade fibers, different colored yarns, plain weave, over 200 g/m² (HS 521141) totaled $231K in April 2026, traded with 12 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPlain-weave cotton-blend fabrics constructed from yarns dyed in different colors before weaving — producing checks, stripes, and plaids — occupy a distinct classification from piece-dyed or printed fabrics of otherwise similar fiber content and weight. Chile leads US imports under this heading, an unusual sourcing pattern that likely reflects niche production of traditional woven check and stripe fabrics; Italy and India are also notable suppliers. The US schedule provides three 10-digit lines (5211410000, 5211410020, and 5211410040) under this heading. The yarn-dyed construction is the critical classification determinant: fabrics where color is applied after weaving classify instead under the dyed or printed headings.

CBP may examine the fabric's cross-section under magnification to confirm that color penetrates individual yarns uniformly — a characteristic of yarn dyeing — rather than appearing as a surface application consistent with piece dyeing. Mill production records showing the dyeing stage (yarn vs. fabric) and a laboratory dye-penetration analysis are the most reliable supporting documents for a yarn-dyed classification claim.
Chile's prominence under this heading likely reflects specialized production of traditional woven check and stripe fabrics — such as those used in shirting or artisan textile markets — where smaller-volume, design-focused mills compete on pattern variety rather than commodity price. Importers should note that Chile is a US free-trade-agreement partner, which may affect duty treatment for qualifying shipments, subject to applicable rules of origin.
