$25KU.S. imports · April 2026HS 580123

U.S. imports of woven cut weft pile fabrics of cotton, other than corduroy (HS 580123) totaled $25K in April 2026, traded with 8 countries.

Last updated: April 2026 data

Cut weft pile cotton fabrics that lack the parallel-rib structure of corduroy — such as velveteen and other sheared-pile constructions — fall here as the residual cut weft pile category for cotton. Italy leads US imports under this heading, followed by India and the United Kingdom, reflecting European and South Asian weaving expertise in specialty pile constructions. The single 10-digit line (5801230000) means the classification decision hinges on confirming three elements: cotton fiber predominance, a weft pile construction, and the cut (sheared) pile state. These fabrics are widely used in apparel, upholstery, and theatrical costume applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What distinguishes velveteen classified under 580123 from velvet, which may fall under a different subheading?

Velveteen is a cut weft pile fabric — the pile is formed by extra weft yarns that are then sheared — and classifies under 580123 when made of cotton. Velvet, by contrast, is typically a cut warp pile construction and would fall under the warp pile subheadings (580127 for cotton). The direction of the pile-forming yarns (weft vs. warp) is the key technical distinction, and mill documentation or a weave analysis may be needed to confirm it.

How should an importer handle a shipment that includes both corduroy and non-corduroy cut weft pile cotton fabrics?

The two constructions must be declared on separate entry lines: corduroy under 580122 (with the appropriate 10-digit line based on wales count) and other cut weft pile cotton fabrics under 5801230000. Combining them on a single line would constitute a misclassification. Commercial invoices should itemize the fabric types separately with their respective weights and values.
