Last updated: August 2026 dataYarn-dyed plain-weave cotton fabrics — where individual yarns are colored before weaving rather than the finished cloth being piece-dyed — at 85% or more cotton and not exceeding 100 g/m² are widely used in shirting, dress fabrics, and lightweight home textiles. India is the leading US import source for this heading, with Italy and Czech Republic also supplying, reflecting demand for both volume commodity goods and premium yarn-dyed constructions. The US schedule separates hand-loomed fabric (5208412000) and a madras-type line (5208419000) from the thread-count-segmented mill-woven lines, making end-use and production-method documentation important at entry.

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.
