U.S. imports of woven cotton fabric, printed, non-plain weave, ≥85% cotton, not over 200 g/m² (HS 520859) totaled $394K in April 2026, traded with 26 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPrinted twills, sateens, and oxford-weave cotton fabrics at or below 200 g/m² occupy this heading, which captures the intersection of a non-plain weave structure and a post-weave printing process. Twelve 10-digit lines—including 5208591000, 5208592015 through 5208592095, 5208594020 through 5208596090, 5208598020, 5208598090, and 5208599000—differentiate by weave type (3/4 twill, sateen, oxford cloth) and thread-count band. Pakistan leads US imports under this heading, with Italy and India also prominent, reflecting both commodity-grade printed twills and higher-end fashion sateens. Classifying correctly requires confirming both the weave structure and the printing method, since fabrics with the same visual appearance can fall under different headings depending on whether color was applied before or after weaving.

The key distinction is when color is applied: a printed sateen is colored after weaving (post-weave printing), while a yarn-dyed sateen uses pre-dyed yarns. CBP may request a cross-section analysis of the yarn or a mill process certificate to confirm the coloring stage, since the two constructions can look similar in finished form but classify under different headings with potentially different duty rates.
Yes, the 200 g/m² threshold applies to the fabric as presented for entry. Weight is typically measured per standard textile testing methods (such as ASTM D3776 or ISO 3801) on conditioned samples. Fabrics exceeding 200 g/m² would fall outside this heading entirely and into the over-200 g/m² printed cotton headings. Importers should ensure mill test reports accompany the shipment to support the declared weight.
