Last updated: April 2026 dataBlended woven fabrics where polyester staple fibers constitute less than 85% by weight and cotton is the dominant secondary fiber, with a finished weight exceeding 170 g/m², occupy a specific niche in apparel and workwear supply chains. The weight threshold of 170 g/m² is a critical classification boundary that separates these heavier constructions from lighter shirting and dress-fabric grades. Importers should note that polyester-cotton blended woven fabrics from several major Asian suppliers have historically been subject to trade-remedy scrutiny, making accurate fiber-content documentation essential for correct tariff classification.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Classification under this heading requires that polyester staple fibers account for less than 85% of the fabric's total weight, with cotton being the predominant remaining fiber. Weight percentages are assessed on the fabric as presented at importation, and laboratory fiber analysis is commonly used to verify blend ratios when classification is disputed.
The 170 g/m² cutoff is a formal classification boundary in the textile schedule. Fabrics at or below this weight fall into separate headings with potentially different duty rates and quota treatment, so accurate weight testing per standard methods (such as ASTM D3776) is essential before filing entry documents.
