U.S. imports of woven cotton fabric, under 85% cotton (not mixed mainly with manmade fibers), different colored yarns, not over 200 g/m² (HS 521214) totaled $125K in April 2026, traded with 13 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataYarn-dyed construction — where individual yarns are colored before weaving — enables the stripe, check, plaid, and dobby patterns that define much of the premium shirting and suiting fabric market. Italy leads US imports under this heading, with India, the United Kingdom, and France also prominent suppliers, reflecting the concentration of high-end yarn-dyed fabric production in European and South Asian mills. The US tariff lines (5212141010 through 5212146090) separate fabrics by wool/FAH content and, within the lower-wool tier, by jacquard construction and loom width — the latter distinction (above or below 127 cm) affecting both duty treatment and suitability for wide-format cutting.

The US schedule distinguishes jacquard fabrics woven wider than 127 cm (5212146020) from those 127 cm or narrower (5212146030). Wider jacquard fabrics are typically used in upholstery, drapery, and home-furnishing applications where wide-width cutting is essential, while narrower constructions are more common in apparel. The width at the time of importation — not the intended end use — determines classification.
A cross-section or yarn-pull test will show whether color penetrates the full yarn diameter (yarn-dyed) or is applied only to the fabric surface (printed). Mill dyeing records and yarn lot documentation are the standard supporting evidence. If color is applied after weaving, even in a stripe or check pattern, the fabric classifies as printed rather than yarn-dyed.
