Last updated: April 2026 dataBleached cotton terry toweling and similar terry woven fabrics have undergone whitening treatment, distinguishing them from greige terry and placing them closer to finished-goods status in the textile supply chain. Buyers in the home-textiles and hospitality sectors frequently source bleached terry as a ready-to-cut intermediate for towels, robes, and spa products, making origin and weight specifications critical procurement variables. Like their unbleached counterparts, narrow and special fabrics are excluded from this heading. Classification accuracy between bleached and unbleached terry is a recurring audit point in textile customs reviews.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Bleached terry has been subjected to a chemical whitening process that removes natural color from the cotton fibers. Customs officers may request mill certificates or process documentation to confirm bleaching has occurred, since the distinction directly determines the applicable tariff heading.
At the SITC level, bleached terry toweling is treated as a single category regardless of weight. However, at the HTS 10-digit level, weight thresholds and other construction details can subdivide the heading further, so importers should verify the specific tariff line with a licensed customs broker.
