Importers of Dyed Plain Weave Woven Cotton Fabrics, Under 85% Cotton, Mixed with Manmade Fibers, Over 200 g/m² paid $40K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 8.5% on $470K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataDyed plain-weave cotton-blend fabrics in this heading — over 200 g/m² with less than 85% cotton mixed primarily with manmade fibers — are a staple input for apparel, home furnishings, and workwear where a uniform solid color is required. Germany leads US imports under this heading, followed by India and Italy, a supplier mix that spans both high-specification European finishing and large-volume South Asian production. The US schedule separates these fabrics into poplin/broadcloth, sheeting (napped and non-napped), and duck constructions across six 10-digit lines, with the sheeting lines further distinguished by osnaburg construction. Fabrics from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs, making origin documentation a priority for importers sourcing from multiple origins.

Both fall within 521131, but at the 10-digit level they are separated: 5211310020 covers poplin and broadcloth constructions, while 5211310090 captures duck-weight plain-weave fabrics. The distinction turns on thread count and fabric weight within the plain-weave structure, so importers should obtain mill specifications confirming the construction type.
Yes, this is a common classification risk. 'Dyed' in Chapter 52 refers to piece-dyed fabrics (dyed after weaving), while yarn-dyed fabrics — where individual yarns are dyed before weaving — classify under the 'of yarns of different colors' headings (e.g., 521141). Importers should confirm with the mill whether color was applied at the yarn stage or the fabric stage, as the two processes lead to different HTS headings and potentially different duty rates.
