Woven Fabrics of Artificial Staple Fibers, Yarn-Dyed, Mixed with Manmade Filaments (Under 85% by Weight)

Turkey has a well-developed integrated textile industry with strong yarn-dyeing and weaving infrastructure, particularly for shirting and furnishing fabrics. Its geographic proximity to European fashion markets and competitive production costs have made it a consistent supplier of yarn-dyed blended fabrics to US importers seeking alternatives to East Asian sources.

Sheeting refers to plain-weave fabrics of a width and weight suitable for bed linen and similar flat goods, while poplin and broadcloth are plain-weave fabrics with a finer, denser construction typically used in apparel. The distinction rests on fabric weight, thread count, and intended end use as defined in the HTS schedule notes; importers should reference the relevant chapter notes and, if uncertain, seek a binding ruling from CBP.
