Importers of Unbleached Plain-Weave Cotton Fabric, 85%+ Cotton, Over 100 g/m² to 200 g/m² paid $67K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 13.77% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataHeavier than its sub-100 g/m² counterpart, this unbleached plain-weave cotton fabric — weighing between 100 and 200 g/m² and containing at least 85% cotton — is a primary input for workwear, canvas goods, and medium-weight apparel fabrics. Pakistan leads US imports under this heading, followed by India, Germany, Italy, and Japan, a supplier mix that spans both high-volume commodity mills and specialty weavers. The US schedule breaks this heading into nine tariff lines (5208124020 through 5208128090) by yarn count and fabric type, making precise thread-count documentation critical for correct classification.

Germany's presence reflects its role as a converter and re-exporter: German textile mills may weave or finish fabric using imported cotton fiber or yarn, then export the finished greige fabric. The country of origin for customs purposes is where the fabric was woven, not where the raw cotton originated, so German-origin fabric is classified based on the weaving location.
Fabric weight is typically measured per ASTM or ISO standard methods, and small variations in moisture content or testing methodology can shift a result across the 100 g/m² threshold. Importers should obtain certified weight test reports from the manufacturer and consider having an independent laboratory verify weight before shipment to avoid reclassification at the port of entry.
