Indigo-Printed Cotton Sateen for Workwear from Japan
Indigo-printed cotton sateen fabric for workwear, containing over 85% cotton and weighing more than 200 g/m². The twill sateen weave with indigo printing does not meet the denim definition in Chapter Note 1, as it is not a warp-faced twill with contrasting weft yarns, so it falls under tariff item 5209.59.00.

Import Tips
• Ensure the fabric is not classified as denim under Chapter Note 1 — if it has warp-faced twill construction with warp yarns of one colour and weft yarns unbleached or lighter, it belongs in 5209.42.00
• For workwear, verify the fabric is not coated or treated for flame resistance in a way that changes its classification
• Keep detailed specifications for CBSA to confirm the non-denim construction
