Last updated: April 2026 dataUnbleached plain-weave cotton fabrics exceeding 200 g/m² are heavy-duty greige goods used extensively in canvas, duck, and industrial textile applications. Six 10-digit lines—5209110020, 5209110025, 5209110035, 5209110040, 5209110050, and 5209110090—differentiate poplin/broadcloth, sheeting (napped and non-napped), duck, and osnaburg constructions within this weight tier. India dominates US supply under this heading, with Pakistan a close second; Germany and China also appear among leading sources, reflecting both commodity duck fabric and specialty industrial constructions. The unbleached (greige) state is a classification prerequisite—fabrics that have been bleached, even partially, shift to heading 520921.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
An unbleached fabric retains the natural color of the cotton fiber and has not undergone any whitening treatment. CBP may assess the fabric's optical brightness, color, and mill processing records. If a fabric has been scoured but not bleached, it may still qualify as unbleached; however, any measurable whitening treatment typically moves the fabric to the bleached heading 520921. A mill process certificate documenting finishing steps is the most reliable supporting document.
Fabrics in this category—particularly duck and osnaburg constructions above 200 g/m²—are primary inputs for workwear, tarpaulins, bags, upholstery backing, and industrial filtration. The unbleached state is often preferred in these applications because it retains natural wax content that contributes to durability and water resistance before any finishing treatment is applied.
