Yarn-Dyed Plain-Weave Cotton Fabric, Not Over 100 g/m²

In yarn-dyed fabric, the yarns are dyed before weaving, producing woven patterns (stripes, checks, plaids) that are integral to the fabric structure. Piece-dyed fabric is woven from undyed or bleached yarn and then dyed as a finished cloth, resulting in a uniform color. CBP distinguishes the two based on whether the color pattern is formed by the weave structure itself; a cross-section examination or mill certification confirming the dyeing stage is the standard supporting evidence.

Yes. Line 5208419000 is specifically designated for yarn-dyed plain-weave cotton fabrics of the madras type — traditionally a lightweight, hand-woven or machine-woven checked or plaid fabric associated with South Asian production. Importers should confirm whether their fabric meets the madras-type specification, as misclassification between this line and the thread-count-segmented lines could affect duty liability.
