HTS code for woven fabric: document fiber, construction, and finish

Planning Use only. Broker review required for Entry Use.

A woven fabric file needs textile facts at roll level. The review depends on fiber content, weave, width, weight, yarn type, dyed or printed status, coating, finish, use, and origin. A supplier's broad description like "woven fabric" leaves too many paths open.

Use this page to prepare the Planning Use record before broker review. The record should show the fabric as imported, including any finish or coating that changes the review.

quick answer

For "hts code for woven fabric", collect fiber content by weight, weave type, yarn type, fabric width, weight, thread count or yarn count if available, dyed or printed status, coating, lamination, pile, stretch, intended use, origin, and supplier code.

Cotton woven fabric, polyester woven fabric, coated fabric, denim, canvas, lining fabric, upholstery fabric, and technical fabric should not share one record. The file should identify the actual roll or cut piece.

facts to collect for woven fabric

Collect:

Product name, invoice wording, SKU, and product page.
Roll label, selvage, face, back, close-up weave, packaging, and sample photos.
Fiber content by weight for all fibers, including cotton, polyester, nylon, rayon, wool, elastane, or blends.
Weave type: plain, twill, satin, denim, canvas, dobby, jacquard, pile, or other.
Width, weight, yarn count, thread count, and whether yarns are staple or filament when known.
Dyed, printed, yarn-dyed, bleached, unbleached, coated, laminated, impregnated, or finished status.
Intended use: apparel, lining, upholstery, industrial, bag fabric, outdoor, or technical use.
Country of origin and production support.
Supplier HS or HTS code and source notes.

If coating or lamination is present, collect material and visible-side details. If the fabric is elastic, record stretch fiber and construction.

missing facts

Mark the file incomplete when:

Fiber content by weight is missing.
Weave type is unsupported.
Width, weight, or finish status is missing.
Coating, lamination, pile, denim, or stretch features are unclear.
Intended use is assumed without support.
Origin is assumed from shipment route.
Supplier code is unsupported.
Close CBP CROSS rulings or tariff notes have not been checked.

These gaps can move the review between cotton, man-made fiber, coated, pile, denim, upholstery, or technical fabric paths.

HTS candidate notes

Build candidate rows for the actual fabric: cotton woven, polyester woven, nylon woven, blended woven, denim, coated fabric, pile fabric, upholstery fabric, or technical textile. Each row should cite a fabric fact.

Rejected alternatives should stay in the record. If the fabric is not knitted, say that. If coating is visible but unsupported, keep coating proof in Missing Facts rather than selecting a coated-fabric path too early.

authority sources

Use USITC HTS for tariff text. Use CBP CROSS for fabric rulings close on fiber, weave, coating, finish, and use.

planning path

Start with a fabric spec sheet and sample photos. Then write a table for fiber, weave, width, weight, finish, intended use, origin, and supplier code. If any lab data is available, attach it to the record.

Duty stack notes should include origin, special tariff program claims, and textile exposure tied to fiber, construction, and country.

questions importers ask

Can I use this page as the HTS code for woven fabric?

No. Use it for Planning Use. Entry Use needs broker or customs authority review.

planning boundary

This woven fabric HTS page is a planning artifact. It is not an Entry Use classification, not a binding ruling, and not a legal opinion. The importer remains responsible for reasonable care and must obtain broker or customs authority review before filing.
