Last updated: August 2026 dataA 3- or 4-thread (or cross) twill weave combined with a dyed finish and a weight exceeding 170 g/m² defines this heading, which serves the workwear, denim-alternative, and uniform fabric sectors. Mexico leads US imports under this heading — an unusual sourcing profile for synthetic blend fabrics — followed by Pakistan and China. The US schedule provides three 10-digit lines: 5514220000, 5514220020 (non-napped), and 5514220040 (napped), where the napped surface finish is a key classification differentiator. Germany's presence among top suppliers reflects specialty finishing capabilities for technical and uniform-grade fabrics.

The US tariff schedule distinguishes napped fabrics (5514220040) from non-napped versions (5514220020) within this heading. A napped surface — created by raising fiber ends to produce a soft or brushed finish — must be declared correctly, as it affects the statistical line and may influence duty treatment under certain trade programs.
Mexico's prominence likely reflects integrated textile-apparel supply chains serving US manufacturers under USMCA, where fabric produced in Mexico can support preferential tariff treatment for finished garments. Importers sourcing from Mexico should verify USMCA rules-of-origin compliance at the fabric level to capture any available duty benefits.
