Importers of Dyed Plain-Weave Cotton Fabric, Not Over 100 g/m² paid $20K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 17% on $116K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataChina is the leading supplier of this lightweight dyed plain-weave cotton fabric to the US market, a category that includes poplin, broadcloth, sheeting, printcloth, and cheesecloth constructions at 85% or more cotton and not exceeding 100 g/m². Imports from China in this heading are subject to Section 301 tariffs, a cost factor that has driven sourcing diversification toward Pakistan and other suppliers. The US schedule further distinguishes hand-loomed fabrics (5208312000) from mill-produced goods and then subdivides by thread count (≤42, 43–68, ≥69 threads per cm) and construction type, requiring importers to verify both parameters at entry.

CBP generally requires a certification from the exporting country's competent authority or a recognized textile testing body confirming that the fabric was produced on a hand-operated loom. Mill certificates alone are typically insufficient; the certification must specifically attest to the hand-loom production method, as this line carries a distinct classification from machine-woven equivalents.
The three thread-count bands (≤42, 43–68, and ≥69 threads per cm) map to different 10-digit lines that may carry different duty rates. Importers should obtain a laboratory thread-count analysis from an accredited textile testing lab before entry, particularly when the count is near a breakpoint, to avoid misclassification and potential penalty exposure.
