Last updated: April 2026 dataYarn-colored cotton-blend woven fabrics above 200 g/m² are characterized by patterns — plaids, stripes, dobby designs — that are structurally woven in using pre-dyed yarns, giving them dimensional color stability that piece-dyeing cannot replicate. SITC 65297 captures this heavier weight class, which is commercially significant for suiting, upholstery, and decorative home textile applications where pattern durability and fabric body are both priorities. The 'mixed with textile materials, n.e.s.' qualifier means the secondary fiber (often polyester or viscose) must be identified and weighed to confirm the chief-weight classification. Given the interplay of weight, fiber blend, and finishing method, importers should engage a licensed customs broker before filing entry.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Fabrics above 200 g/m² have greater structural weight and body, making them better suited for applications like upholstery, outerwear, and structured suiting where drape and durability are required. Lighter yarn-dyed blends (SITC 65293) are more typical for shirting and dress fabrics. The weight threshold is therefore both a classification boundary and a practical indicator of the fabric's intended end use.
Yes — visual inspection alone can sometimes be ambiguous. A woven stripe is created by interlacing pre-dyed yarns during weaving, while a printed stripe is applied to the surface of a finished cloth. Microscopic examination or a weave analysis can confirm the construction method. Misclassifying a yarn-dyed fabric as printed (or vice versa) places it in the wrong tariff line and can trigger CBP penalties.
