Printed Lightweight Denim-Like Twill Fabric from Japan
Printed lightweight denim-like twill fabric weighing 170 g/m², made of 88% cotton. The fabric features prints on a 4-thread twill weave that mimics denim, suitable for fashion skirts and light jackets. 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 resembles denim, 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
• Ensure the fabric is clearly described as printed, not woven from coloured yarns, to avoid classification under 5208.43.00 or denim subheadings
• Document the fabric's weight and cotton content for CBSA verification
• If the fabric is for skirts, ensure it is imported in the piece, not as made-up garments
