Last updated: July 2026 dataHeavy yarn-colored woven cotton fabrics — those exceeding 200 g/m², containing at least 85% cotton, and woven from pre-dyed yarns but explicitly excluding denim — are classified under SITC 65244. The denim exclusion is a defining feature of this subheading: fabrics that would otherwise qualify as denim (indigo yarn-dyed twill) are carved out to their own category, leaving this heading for plaids, stripes, jacquards, and other yarn-colored constructions in heavier weights. These fabrics are used in upholstery, heavy shirting, decorative home textiles, and outerwear where the pattern is structural rather than surface-applied.

No — the denim exclusion targets fabrics that meet the commercial and technical definition of denim, which typically requires both the yarn-dyeing method (indigo or similar) and the characteristic twill construction. A twill-woven fabric dyed with other colorways and not presenting as denim would remain in the yarn-colored (non-denim) category, though borderline cases should be reviewed with a licensed customs broker.
Physical inspection of the fabric's reverse side and cross-section is the primary method — yarn-colored fabrics show color through the full yarn, while piece-dyed fabrics may show lighter color at the yarn core. Mill production records, dyeing process certificates, and fabric specification sheets from the manufacturer can serve as supporting documentation in cases where the construction method is disputed.
