Importers of Unbleached Plain Weave Woven Cotton Fabrics, Under 85% Cotton, Mixed with Manmade Fibers, Over 200 g/m² paid $25K in duties in June 2026 — an effective duty rate of 18% on $141K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Unbleached Plain Weave Woven Cotton Fabrics, Under 85% Cotton, Mixed with Manmade Fibers, Over 200 g/m² imports of $141K in June 2026 ran 49% below the year-to-date monthly average of $275K.
Heavier unbleached plain-weave cotton-blend fabrics — weighing more than 200 g/m² and containing less than 85% cotton mixed primarily with manmade fibers — serve as base materials for workwear, canvas goods, and industrial textile applications. The US schedule breaks this heading into sheeting constructions (including osnaburg and napped variants) and duck-weight fabrics, with classification hinging on fabric finish and end-use construction type. Italy and Germany are the leading European sources, while Pakistan and India supply significant volume of commodity-grade unbleached cloth. Importers should verify that fiber-blend ratios are supported by mill certifications, as the manmade-fiber majority threshold is a common classification dispute point.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Sheeting fabrics are lighter, tighter plain-weave constructions intended for bedding or apparel base cloth, while duck fabrics are heavier, tightly woven plain-weave materials used in industrial, canvas, or workwear applications. The US 10-digit lines under 521111 separate these by construction type and napping finish, so the intended end-use and physical fabric specification both inform correct classification.
Customs entries for cotton-blend fabrics generally require a mill certificate or laboratory test report confirming that cotton constitutes less than 85% of total fiber weight and that manmade fibers represent the primary non-cotton component. Without this documentation, CBP may challenge classification and reclassify the fabric into a higher-cotton-content heading with a different duty rate.
