Last updated: August 2026 dataMedium-weight printed plain-weave cotton fabrics in the 101–200 g/m² range serve a broad range of end uses, from apparel shirting and dress fabrics to sheeting and printed canvas goods. The US tariff schedule is notably granular here, with sixteen 10-digit lines—including 5208521000, 5208523020 through 5208523090, 5208524020 through 5208524090, 5208525020, and 5208525090—distinguishing thread-count bands, fabric constructions (poplin/broadcloth, sheeting, printcloth), and whether the sheeting is discharge-printed or otherwise printed. South Korea and Pakistan are the leading suppliers, with Indonesia and Japan also contributing meaningfully to US import volumes. The discharge-printing distinction within the sheeting lines (e.g., 5208523035 versus 5208523045) is a classification detail that can catch importers off guard if the printing method is not confirmed with the mill.

Discharge printing removes dye from a pre-dyed ground fabric to create a pattern, whereas other printing methods apply colorants to an undyed or lightly dyed base. The US schedule separates these at the 10-digit level (e.g., 5208523035 for discharge-printed sheeting versus 5208523045 for other printed sheeting) because the processes reflect different manufacturing inputs and trade flows. Importers should obtain a mill certificate or technical specification confirming the printing method.
This heading covers fabrics weighing over 100 g/m²; fabrics at or below 100 g/m² fall under heading 520851. A result of exactly 100 g/m² would place the fabric in 520851, not 520852. Because laboratory measurement has inherent tolerances, importers should request multiple test results and consult a licensed customs broker if the weight is borderline, as the classification affects which 10-digit line and duty rate apply.
