Ten 10-digit tariff lines—including 5208512000, 5208514020 through 5208514090, 5208516020 through 5208516090, 5208518020, and 5208518090—segment the heading by thread count (≤#42, #43–68, ≥#69) and end-use fabric type such as poplin/broadcloth, sheeting, and cheesecloth. Italy leads US imports under this heading, reflecting demand for premium printed shirting and fashion fabrics, with Pakistan and Japan also significant sources.

This heading covers fabrics weighing not over 100 g/m². Fabrics weighing over 100 g/m² but not over 200 g/m² fall under heading 520852. Weight is typically verified by laboratory testing per ASTM or ISO methods, and the declared weight on the commercial invoice should match the tested result to avoid reclassification at entry.
The US schedule divides this heading into three thread-count bands—up to and including #42, #43 through #68, and #69 and above—each with separate 10-digit lines for fabric types such as poplin/broadcloth, sheeting, and cheesecloth. Importers should obtain mill certifications confirming the yarn count, as the thread count directly determines which 10-digit line applies and can affect the applicable duty rate.
