U.S. imports of Printed Cotton Woven Fabrics, ≥85% Cotton, ≤200 g/m² (SITC 65234) totaled $22.7M in August 2026, imported from 48 countries.
Importers of Printed Cotton Woven Fabrics, ≥85% Cotton, ≤200 g/m² paid $3.4M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 14.74% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataSurface-printed woven cotton fabrics at or above 85% cotton by weight and not exceeding 200 g/m² serve the apparel, quilting, and home-décor sectors, where design variety and rapid pattern turnover drive sourcing decisions. Classification under SITC 65234 hinges on the printing being the final and defining finishing step — fabrics that are also dyed before printing are still classified as printed. The lightweight specification (≤200 g/m²) makes these fabrics particularly suited to warm-weather garments and lightweight drapery, and importers should be aware that country-of-origin rules for printed fabrics can be complex when printing occurs in a different country than weaving.

For textile products, US customs generally applies a 'substantial transformation' test. Printing alone is typically not considered a substantial transformation, meaning the country where the fabric was woven is usually deemed the country of origin. However, the specific facts of each case matter, and importers should consult a licensed customs broker or trade attorney to confirm origin before entry.
A fabric that has been piece-dyed and then printed is classified as printed, because printing is considered the more specific and final finishing operation. The classification hierarchy places printed fabrics in their own subheading regardless of prior dyeing, so the presence of a printed pattern is the controlling factor.
