Last updated: July 2026 dataMixed-fiber linen fabrics in an unbleached or bleached state — where flax accounts for less than 85% of the weight — are among the most classification-intensive textile headings in Chapter 53, with more than a dozen 10-digit US tariff lines reflecting combinations of secondary fiber type (wool, cotton, man-made fibers), cotton-restraint status, fabric construction (poplin, broadcloth, sheeting, printcloth), and width. The United Kingdom and Belgium are the leading suppliers, with India also a notable source. Importers must identify both the primary and secondary fiber content precisely, as the interaction between flax percentage, wool/fine animal hair content thresholds (above or below 17% by weight), and cotton-plus-MMF combinations determines which specific line applies.

The US schedule uses 17% wool or fine animal hair (by weight) as a breakpoint: fabrics exceeding that threshold are directed to one set of 10-digit lines (e.g., 5309212000), while those at or below 17% fall into the cotton/MMF-based lines. Accurate fiber analysis from a certified laboratory is essential before filing entry documents.
Several 10-digit lines under 530921 distinguish between fabrics subject to cotton-restraint provisions and those that are not, further subdividing by construction type (sheeting, printcloth, poplin/broadcloth, or other). Importers should confirm with a licensed customs broker whether the specific blend and construction triggers a cotton-restraint designation, as misclassification can affect quota compliance and duty liability.
