HTS heading 5212 is a broad product category for other woven fabrics of cotton. It generally covers woven cotton fabrics that are not described by the more specific cotton-fabric headings elsewhere in Chapter 52. The heading can include fabrics with different weights, fiber mixtures, and construction characteristics, depending on the detailed subheadings.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, start with the fabric’s technical details and follow the subheading structure under heading 5212. The relevant distinctions may include whether the fabric is made wholly or partly of cotton, its weight, the proportion and type of other textile fibers, and sometimes how the fabric is constructed or finished. The 4-digit heading alone is not enough for entry documentation; confirm the complete code and its description in the current HTSUS, and obtain broker or customs advice when the facts are unclear.
What to check
- Obtain the supplier’s full fabric specification, including fiber percentages, fabric weight, weave, and whether it is dyed, printed, or otherwise finished.
- Confirm that the fabric belongs in heading 5212 rather than a more specific cotton-fabric heading elsewhere in Chapter 52.
- Use the HTSUS subheading notes and wording to narrow the product from the 4-digit heading to the applicable 8-digit code.
- Verify whether the listed weight, fiber blend, and construction match the precise subheading description; do not rely on a product name alone.
- Request a customs-broker review or a binding classification ruling when testing, specifications, or competing classifications leave reasonable doubt.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
