Last updated: July 2026 dataBleached plain-weave cotton fabrics above 200 g/m² are finished greige goods that have undergone whitening treatment, making them ready for dyeing, printing, or direct use in sheeting, duck, and institutional textile applications. Five 10-digit lines—5209210020, 5209210035, 5209210040, 5209210050, and 5209210090—cover poplin/broadcloth, sheeting (napped and non-napped), bleached duck, and related constructions. Germany leads US imports under this heading, an unusual pattern for cotton fabric that reflects specialty industrial and technical textile demand; Pakistan and India are the volume commodity suppliers. The bleached state distinguishes these fabrics from their unbleached counterparts under 520911 and is confirmed by optical brightness testing or mill finishing records.

Germany's presence at the top of the supplier list for this heading likely reflects specialty technical and industrial textile applications—such as filtration media, medical-grade cotton duck, or precision-finished canvas—where European finishing standards and quality certifications command a market niche distinct from commodity sheeting and apparel duck sourced from Pakistan or India.
A mill finishing certificate documenting the bleaching process (e.g., hydrogen peroxide or chlorine bleach treatment), along with optical whiteness test results, provides the strongest evidence for the bleached classification. If the fabric was only scoured but not bleached, it would classify under the unbleached heading 520911. CBP may request these records during examination, particularly when the fabric's visual appearance is ambiguous.
