Last updated: August 2026 dataPrinted, dyed, and yarn-dyed polyester staple fiber woven fabrics at or above the 85% weight threshold are classified here, with the US schedule offering a detailed breakdown by construction type. Key 10-digit lines include 5512190005 for yarn-dyed fabrics (excluding blue denim and jacquard weaves), 5512190010 for blue denim, 5512190015 for poplin and broadcloth, 5512190022 and 5512190027 for plain-weave fabrics differentiated by width, 5512190030 for printcloth, 5512190035 for cheesecloth and lawn, 5512190040 for duck, 5512190045 for satin and twill weaves, 5512190050 for oxford cloth, and 5512190090 for other constructions.

Both yarn-dyed and piece-dyed fabrics fall within heading 551219 (rather than 551211, which covers unbleached or bleached goods), but the US schedule further separates yarn-dyed constructions into specific lines such as 5512190005. Importers should identify the dyeing method on the commercial invoice and match it to the correct 10-digit line, as misclassification between yarn-dyed and piece-dyed lines can trigger CBP queries.
Yes. The US tariff schedule carves out a dedicated line — 5512190010 — specifically for blue denim woven from polyester staple fibers at or above the 85% threshold. This separation reflects the distinct commercial identity of denim constructions and means importers must confirm both the fiber content and the denim construction before assigning the statistical suffix.
