Last updated: April 2026 dataYarn-dyed construction — where individual yarns are colored before weaving — distinguishes this lightweight cotton-blend fabric from piece-dyed or printed alternatives and is a key classification criterion separating it from SITC 65252 and 65254. The technique produces checks, stripes, and plaids with superior color fastness, making these fabrics commercially important for shirting, suiting linings, and decorative textiles. Because the cotton content is below 85% and manmade fibers predominate among the non-cotton components, both the fiber-ratio and the weight ceiling of 200 g/m² must be verified at entry.

In yarn-dyed fabrics, the color pattern is created by weaving pre-dyed yarns together, so the color penetrates the full cross-section of each yarn. Printed fabrics receive their pattern after weaving, applied to the fabric surface. CBP and trade auditors can distinguish the two by examining yarn cross-sections under magnification, which is relevant when a fabric's classification is disputed.
Certain cotton and manmade-fiber woven fabrics from specific origins have been subject to antidumping or countervailing duty orders in the past. Importers should check the USITC and Commerce Department's active order lists against the specific HTS subheading and country of origin before shipment, as applicability depends on the precise tariff line and supplier country.
