Last updated: August 2026 dataPrinted lightweight cotton-blend fabrics in this heading serve a broad range of apparel, quilting, and home-textile end uses, with Pakistan and Italy leading US imports — a pairing that reflects both high-volume commodity production and design-driven European supply. The nine US tariff lines (5212151010 through 5212156090) are structured around the 36% wool/fine animal hair threshold and, within the lower-wool tier, by specific construction types including printcloth, cheesecloth, Oxford cloth, and sheeting, as well as a broad NESOI remainder. Importers sourcing from multiple origins should note that the fiber composition threshold — not the country of origin — is the primary classification driver within this heading.

Cheesecloth (5212156050) is an extremely open, loosely woven plain-weave fabric with a very low thread count, traditionally used in food processing, medical, and craft applications. It is distinguished from lawn (a finer, more uniform open plain weave) and from printcloth (a more balanced, heavier plain weave) by its irregular, gauze-like structure. Fabric weight per square meter and thread count data from the mill are the key classification inputs.
The wool/FAH content threshold divides the tariff lines before the construction-type subdivisions apply. A printed fabric with 36% or more wool/FAH by weight falls under 5212151010 or 5212151020 (combed vs. non-combed), while fabrics below that threshold are further subdivided by construction type. Fiber composition testing — typically by a certified textile laboratory — is required to establish which tier applies, and the result must be documented in the entry package.
