About heading 5309
Woven fabrics of flax
Heading 5309 covers woven fabrics made of flax, which is the fiber most sellers call linen. The heading splits first by flax weight: 85% or more by weight, or less than 85%. It then splits by finish (unbleached or bleached versus other, meaning dyed, yarn dyed or printed), and further by wool or fine animal hair content, by blends with cotton and man-made fibers, and by width over 127 cm.

Frequently asked questions
What is the HTS code for unbleached 100% linen fabric?
Use 5309.11.00.10 if the fabric is wider than 127 cm, or 5309.11.00.90 if it is not. Both carry a general (MFN) rate of Free.
What is the duty on linen fabric blended with wool?
If the unbleached or bleached fabric contains more than 17% by weight of wool or fine animal hair, it falls under 5309.21.20.00 at 14.5% general (MFN). For dyed or printed versions the matching line is 5309.29.20.00, also 14.5% general (MFN).
How do I classify dyed linen and cotton blend fabric?
It goes in subheading 5309.29.30 because the flax content is under 85% and the fabric is neither unbleached nor bleached. For example, poplin or broadcloth subject to cotton restraints is 5309.29.30.05 at Free general (MFN), while the same fabric in unbleached form is 5309.21.30.05 at 6.9% general (MFN).
