Last updated: April 2026 dataPiece-dyed woven cotton fabrics exceeding 200 g/m² and containing at least 85% cotton by weight are classified under SITC 65242, serving sectors that demand both color and structural weight — including workwear, denim alternatives, upholstery, and heavy shirting. The heavier weight tier distinguishes these fabrics from the lighter dyed cotton category and typically implies a tighter, denser weave construction. Section 301 tariff exposure for Chinese-origin cotton textiles is a recurring cost consideration for buyers in this segment, and origin diversification toward other major producing countries has been a notable sourcing trend.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
If the cotton content drops below 85% by weight and the predominant non-cotton fiber is a manmade fiber, the fabric shifts to a different classification series covering mixed-fiber cotton fabrics. The fiber composition must be verified by weight, not by count or volume, and the dominant fiber pairing determines the applicable subheading.
Twill, sateen, canvas, and plain weaves with higher thread counts or heavier yarn counts are typical constructions in this weight range. The weave type itself does not change the SITC classification — weight and fiber content are the controlling variables — but weave construction affects the fabric's end-use suitability and may be relevant for HTS-level classification under the US tariff schedule.
