Importers of Dyed 3- or 4-Thread Twill Cotton Fabric, Not Over 200 g/m² paid $16K in duties in June 2026 — an effective duty rate of 19% on $84K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.

Dyed 3- and 4-thread twill cotton fabrics — including cross twill — at 85% or more cotton and not exceeding 200 g/m² are classified under a single 10-digit line, 5208330000, making weave verification the primary classification task for this heading. India leads US imports, with the United Kingdom, Italy, and Japan also supplying this heading, reflecting a mix of commodity and premium-grade twill used in apparel, workwear, and home-textile applications. The diagonal weave structure and dyed finish distinguish these fabrics from both the bleached twill of 520823 and the dyed plain-weave goods of 520831–520832.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes, if the herringbone is produced by a cross-twill construction — where the diagonal direction of a 3- or 4-thread twill reverses at regular intervals — the fabric falls within 520833, which explicitly includes cross twill. However, if the herringbone effect is achieved through a different weave structure (such as a compound weave), classification must be evaluated separately. A weave analysis report is advisable when the construction is ambiguous.
The US tariff schedule applies thread-count and construction-type subdivisions to plain-weave cotton fabrics because those distinctions correlate with distinct commercial products (sheeting, printcloth, poplin) that trade in separate markets. Twill fabrics in this weight range are not further subdivided by thread count or end-use type at the 10-digit level, so all qualifying dyed twill fabrics — regardless of thread count — consolidate into 5208330000.
