Last updated: April 2026 dataOpen-weave gauze fabrics constructed from textile materials other than cotton — including silk, linen, or synthetic fibers — are used in apparel, theatrical costuming, medical dressings, and filtration applications. The 'not of cotton' boundary is the key classification gate: cotton gauze falls under a separate heading, so fiber content verification is the first compliance step for importers. Width also matters — narrow fabrics (generally under a defined centimeter threshold) are excluded and classified elsewhere, making roll width a secondary documentation requirement.

Under the HTS framework that aligns with this SITC heading, narrow fabrics are generally those not exceeding 30 centimeters in width. Importers should confirm the actual roll width on the commercial invoice and packing list, as gauze sold in narrow strips for medical or trimming use may fall under a different tariff heading.
Yes. Gauze destined for use as medical dressings or wound care products may be subject to FDA oversight as a medical device or drug product component, separate from customs classification. Importers should determine the intended end use before entry and consult with both a licensed customs broker and an FDA regulatory specialist if the product is marketed for medical applications.
