Plaid Printed Lightweight Twill from Germany

Plaid printed lightweight twill fabric weighing 140 g/m², made of 89% cotton. The fabric features a plaid print on a 3-thread twill weave, suitable for shirts and light apparel. It falls under this tariff item as a printed woven cotton fabric with 85% or more cotton, weighing not more than 200 g/m². Although it is a 3-thread twill, it is not classified as denim because the warp yarns are not of a single colour and the weft yarns are not unbleached or lighter shade.

Import Tips

• Confirm the plaid pattern is printed, not woven from coloured yarns, to avoid classification under 5208.43.00

• Keep records of the fabric's weight and composition for CBSA inspection

• If the fabric is for shirts, ensure it is imported in the piece, not as made-up garments
