Last updated: July 2026 dataStretch and performance denim fabrics — where elastane, polyester, or other manmade fibers reduce cotton content below 85% — are the primary commercial product in this heading, serving the global apparel industry's demand for flexible denim constructions. Turkey leads US imports, followed by Mexico, reflecting both Turkey's dominant position in stretch-denim mill production and Mexico's role as a USMCA-integrated apparel manufacturing hub. The US schedule subdivides these fabrics by weight band (201–360 g/m² vs. over 360 g/m²) and by color (blue denim vs. non-blue denim) across six 10-digit lines, making weight and colorway the two key classification variables. Importers should confirm whether Mexico-origin denim meets USMCA yarn-forward rules of origin before claiming preferential treatment.

The 10-digit lines under 521142 explicitly separate blue denim (e.g., 5211420030 and 5211420040) from non-blue denim (5211420060 and 5211420080) at both weight bands. This distinction matters because the two categories may carry different duty rates and are tracked separately in trade statistics. Importers should confirm the fabric's colorway in the commercial invoice and mill documentation to select the correct line.
The weight threshold is determined by the fabric's actual weight per square meter as measured at the time of importation, typically verified by laboratory testing. Fabrics at or near the 360 g/m² boundary should be tested before entry filing, as a measurement variance could shift classification between lines — for example, from 5211420030 to 5211420040 for blue denim — potentially affecting the applicable duty rate.
