Last updated: July 2026 dataThree- and four-thread twill constructions—including cross twill—in unbleached cotton above 200 g/m² are the greige precursors to denim, drill, and workwear fabrics. Three 10-digit lines cover this heading: 5209120000, 5209120020 (non-napped), and 5209120040 (napped), with the napped distinction relevant for brushed or raised-surface twill goods. Turkey leads US imports under this heading, a reflection of that country's established position in denim and heavy twill production, with Japan, Pakistan, and India also supplying the market. The cross-twill variant—where the twill direction reverses—is explicitly included and classifies here rather than under a separate line.

Unbleached ring-spun or open-end-spun denim in a 3×1 twill construction above 200 g/m² would typically fall here, provided the fabric has not been bleached or yarn-dyed (yarn-dyed denim shifts to the dyed-yarn headings). A mill certificate confirming the weave structure, thread count, weight, and finishing state—specifically that no bleaching or yarn-dyeing occurred—is the standard supporting document for this classification.
Napping raises fiber ends from the fabric surface to create a soft, brushed texture used in flannel-style workwear and outerwear linings. The US schedule separates napped (5209120020) from non-napped (5209120040) twill fabrics at the 10-digit level. Importers should confirm with the mill whether any mechanical napping or raising process was applied, as this determines the correct tariff line.
