Basic heading 65263 · $1.3M of $26.7B
Denim construction — characterized by a twill weave with a dyed warp and undyed or differently colored weft — is explicitly called out as a separate classification within the heavier-weight cotton-blend fabric series, reflecting its commercial significance in the global apparel supply chain. At under 85% cotton and with manmade fibers as the primary blend component, these stretch or performance denim fabrics differ from traditional all-cotton denim and are widely used in contemporary jeanswear and workwear where elasticity or moisture management is required. The explicit denim carve-out in this heading means that yarn-colored non-denim fabrics of similar weight and fiber content are classified separately under SITC 65264.

For classification, denim is generally understood as a yarn-dyed warp-faced twill fabric where the warp yarns are dyed (typically indigo or sulfur dye) and the weft yarns are undyed or a contrasting color. The presence of manmade fibers (such as elastane or polyester) does not disqualify a fabric from the denim designation as long as the characteristic twill construction and yarn-dyeing method are present.
Antidumping and countervailing duty orders on textile products, including denim fabrics, have historically targeted specific countries. Importers should consult the Commerce Department's active order list and confirm the applicable HTS subheading and country of origin before shipment, as trade-remedy applicability is highly country- and tariff-line-specific.
