Last updated: April 2026 dataWoven from pre-dyed yarns of different colors to create checks, stripes, and plaids, these plain-weave fabrics serve the shirting, home textile, and apparel sectors where pattern is integral to the cloth rather than applied after weaving. India is the primary US import source for this heading, with Portugal and the United Kingdom also notable suppliers — the latter two reflecting European heritage textile production for premium shirting and furnishing markets. The four 10-digit lines (5209413000 through 5209416040) separate handloom constructions from other plain-weave types and distinguish napped from non-napped finishes. Buyers sourcing yarn-dyed checks or stripes should confirm that the color pattern is woven in rather than printed, as printed fabrics of similar appearance are classified under 520951.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yarn-dyed fabrics show color penetration through the yarn cross-section, and the pattern is visible on both faces of the cloth. Printed fabrics typically show color concentrated on one face with a lighter reverse. Mill certificates, production records, and — if needed — CBP laboratory fiber analysis can confirm the dyeing method when the distinction is commercially significant.
The primary end uses are dress and casual shirting, home furnishing fabrics (tablecloths, napkins, and light upholstery), and workwear. The heavier weight threshold (over 200 g/m²) makes these fabrics more suitable for structured garments and home textiles than for lightweight blouse or lining applications.
