Last updated: April 2026 dataThree- and four-thread twill constructions — including cross twill — in unbleached cotton at 85% or more by weight and up to 200 g/m² are foundational fabrics for denim precursors, workwear, and industrial textile applications. All US imports enter under a single tariff line, 5208130000, simplifying classification relative to the multi-line plain-weave headings. Pakistan and India are the leading suppliers, with China, Mexico, and Japan rounding out the top five — a sourcing profile that reflects both cost-competitive commodity production and specialty twill weaving capacity.

A cross twill (also called a broken twill or herringbone) reverses the twill direction at regular intervals, creating a zigzag or chevron pattern. For HTS purposes, cross twill is explicitly included within heading 520813 alongside standard 3- and 4-thread twills, so the weave direction reversal does not move the fabric to a different heading — the key criteria remain fiber content and weight.
Yes. The 200 g/m² weight ceiling is a hard classification boundary within chapter 52. Unbleached cotton twill fabrics exceeding 200 g/m² would be classified under a separate heading (520911 or related lines for heavy plain or twill weaves), so accurate weight documentation is essential when fabric weight is near this threshold.
