U.S. imports of Bleached 3- or 4-Thread Twill Cotton Fabric, Not Over 200 g/m² (HS 520823) totaled $204K in August 2026, imported from 11 countries.
Importers of Bleached 3- or 4-Thread Twill Cotton Fabric, Not Over 200 g/m² paid $38K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 18.88% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataClassified under a single 10-digit line (5208230000), this heading covers bleached cotton twill — including cross twill — woven with a 3- or 4-thread structure and weighing no more than 200 g/m², with at least 85% cotton content. The twill construction produces the characteristic diagonal rib that distinguishes these fabrics from plain-weave counterparts in the same weight range, a distinction that is determinative for classification. Pakistan leads US supply of this fabric, with European sources — Germany, the United Kingdom, and Italy — also contributing, reflecting demand from both commodity apparel and higher-end textile applications.

A plain weave interlaces each weft thread over and under successive warp threads in a 1×1 pattern, while a 3- or 4-thread twill shifts the interlacing point by one thread on each successive row, creating a diagonal line. Customs classifiers and fabric analysts typically verify the weave structure by examining the repeat pattern under magnification; the diagonal rib is the key physical indicator separating HTS 520823 from the plain-weave headings 520821 and 520822.
No. The heading explicitly includes cross twill alongside standard 3- and 4-thread twill constructions, so both are classified under 5208230000 without distinction. Cross twill — where the diagonal direction reverses to create a herringbone-like effect — does not create a separate tariff line within this subheading.
