U.S. imports of bleached cotton woven fabrics, <85% cotton, mixed mainly with manmade fibers, ≤200 g/m² (SITC 65251) totaled $430K in April 2026, traded with 11 countries.
Importers of Bleached Cotton Woven Fabrics, <85% Cotton, Mixed Mainly with Manmade Fibers, ≤200 g/m² paid $79K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 19% on $420K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Bleached Cotton Woven Fabrics, <85% Cotton, Mixed Mainly with Manmade Fibers, ≤200 g/m² imports of $430K in April 2026 ran 49% above the year-to-date monthly average of $289K.
Last updated: April 2026 dataBleached woven fabrics where cotton is the primary but minority fiber — falling below 85% by weight — and the balance is predominantly manmade fibers occupy a distinct classification under SITC 65251, separate from both pure-cotton and other mixed-fiber constructions. The 'mixed mainly with manmade fibers' qualifier means that among the non-cotton content, synthetic or artificial fibers (such as polyester or viscose) must predominate over any other non-cotton component. These cotton-polyester and cotton-viscose blended fabrics are widely used in healthcare textiles, workwear, and institutional apparel where wrinkle resistance and durability from the manmade fiber component complement cotton's comfort properties.

The manmade fiber content must be greater than any other single non-cotton fiber type present. For example, in a fabric that is 70% cotton, 20% polyester, and 10% wool, the polyester (a manmade fiber) exceeds the wool content, so the fabric qualifies as mixed mainly with manmade fibers. If the non-cotton content were split equally between a manmade and a natural fiber, the classification would need to be reviewed more carefully.
Yes — the finishing state (bleached, dyed, yarn-colored, or printed) is a primary classification variable within the mixed-fiber cotton fabric series, just as it is for pure cotton fabrics. A bleached cotton-manmade blend falls in a different subheading than a dyed or printed version of the same fiber composition and weight, so the declared finish must accurately reflect the fabric's condition at the time of importation.
