Last updated: September 2026 dataYarn-dyed construction — where individual yarns are colored before weaving to create stripes, checks, chambray, denim, or jacquard patterns — is the defining attribute that separates this subheading from the dyed and printed cotton-blend categories. The US schedule carves out dedicated lines for blue denim (5516430010), non-blue denim (5516430015), and jacquard weaves (5516430020), reflecting the commercial importance of these constructions in apparel and home textiles. Italy and Belgium are the leading US suppliers, with Turkey, China, and France also present, indicating a supply base that spans both fashion-oriented and volume-production mills. The denim lines in particular warrant attention for Section 301 exposure when sourced from China.

Blue denim is specifically a yarn-dyed fabric woven with blue-dyed warp yarns and undyed (white or natural) filling yarns in a twill construction. Non-blue denim (5516430015) covers the same twill-warp construction but with warp yarns dyed in colors other than blue. The color of the warp yarn — not the finished fabric appearance — is the determinative factor, and mill documentation confirming yarn color before weaving supports the correct line.
The US schedule lists jacquard weaves (5516430020) and denim lines (5516430010 and 5516430015) as separate provisions. Where a fabric could arguably fit both, the more specific description — denim, defined by its twill construction and yarn-dyeing method — generally controls over the broader jacquard weave provision. A licensed customs broker should review the fabric's technical specifications to determine the correct 10-digit line.
