Last updated: April 2026 dataLightweight unbleached cotton woven fabrics containing at least 85% cotton by weight and not exceeding 200 grams per square meter represent a widely traded greige goods category used as feedstock for printing, dyeing, and garment manufacturing. The 85% cotton threshold and the 200 g/m² ceiling are the two critical specification gates that determine whether a fabric belongs here or in an adjacent heading. Fabrics in this weight range are commonly associated with shirting, sheeting, and lightweight apparel applications. Because this is an NES heading, it applies only after more specific cotton woven fabric categories have been ruled out.

The threshold is measured by weight of the total fiber content. Laboratory fiber analysis — typically using AATCC or ISO test methods — is the standard way to establish whether cotton constitutes at least 85% of the fabric. Importers should retain mill test reports confirming fiber composition to support the declared classification.
Weight per square meter is measured on the finished fabric as imported. If a fabric tests at or near the 200 g/m² boundary, even small measurement variations can shift it between the 'not over' and 'over' headings. Requesting an official weight certificate from the mill and, if necessary, a binding ruling from CBP can prevent costly reclassification after entry.
