Within the US tariff schedule, these fabric types are differentiated primarily by thread count (yarn number) and construction. Poplin and broadcloth are tightly woven with a fine rib effect; sheeting is a balanced plain weave used for bedding substrates; cheesecloth is an open, loosely woven fabric. The applicable 10-digit tariff line depends on both the fabric type and the yarn count bracket (e.g., 42 or fewer, 43–68, or 69 and above threads per inch).
Greige fabric imported for further processing — such as bleaching, dyeing, or printing in the US — may be eligible for certain bonded warehouse or manufacturing drawback programs, allowing duty recovery on re-exported finished goods. Importers planning to process and re-export should consult a licensed customs broker about drawback eligibility before entry.
