Last updated: April 2026 dataBleaching transforms the gray-goods substrate of heading 521011 into the white or optically brightened fabric classified here, making 521021 the preferred heading for sheeting, shirting, and medical-textile converters who require a clean base for downstream printing or finishing. Pakistan leads US supply, with Bahrain and Germany also appearing among top sources — an unusual supplier mix that reflects both integrated textile mills and re-export trade patterns. The nine 10-digit lines mirror the unbleached plain-weave structure, segmenting by yarn count bracket (≤#42, #43–68, ≥#69) and construction type including poplin/broadcloth (5210214020, 5210216020, 5210218020), sheeting (5210214040, 5210216040), print cloth (5210216060), and cheese cloth/seersucker variants. Bleaching process documentation may be requested by CBP to confirm the fabric's finished state.

Bahrain hosts integrated textile finishing operations that process gray goods sourced regionally and export finished bleached fabric. Its presence among top suppliers reflects value-added finishing capacity rather than raw cotton production, and importers should verify that origin rules are met based on where the weaving — not just the bleaching — occurred.
The US schedule divides 521021 into three yarn count tiers: coarser constructions at or below #42 (lines 5210214020–5210214090), mid-range counts #43–68 (lines 5210216020–5210216090), and fine counts at or above #69 (lines 5210218020–5210218090). Yarn count is measured per the applicable ASTM or ISO standard, and the count of the warp or filling yarn — whichever governs — must be documented on the commercial invoice.
