Last updated: April 2026 dataUnbleached cotton fabrics in this heading retain their natural greige or lightly scoured state, making them a primary input for downstream finishing operations such as dyeing, printing, and coating. The 'NESOI' designation signals that these fabrics are not mixed mainly with manmade fibers — the blending fiber is something other than synthetic or artificial, such as wool, linen, or silk. The United Kingdom and India are the leading US suppliers, with China and Italy also present. The US tariff schedule subdivides this heading by wool/fine animal hair (FAH) content threshold (above or below 36%) and by specific construction types including Oxford cloth, cheesecloth, lawn, and twill weaves.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The US tariff lines under 521211 split based on whether the fabric contains 36% or more wool or fine animal hair (FAH) by weight. Fabrics at or above that threshold are subject to different duty treatment than those below it, reflecting the higher value associated with significant wool content. Importers must obtain fiber composition certificates from the mill to determine which 10-digit line applies.
The US schedule carves out Oxford cloth (5212116040), cheesecloth and lawn (5212116050), and twill weaves (5212116070) as distinct lines within the lower-wool-content tier. Oxford cloth is identified by its basket-weave structure and characteristic texture; cheesecloth and lawn by their open, lightweight plain weave; and twill by its diagonal interlacement. Mill fabric specifications and weave diagrams are the standard supporting documents.
