Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the fabric contains 85% or more cotton by weight
Fabrics with higher cotton content are classified in Chapter 52 under heading 5208 for cotton woven fabrics weighing not more than 200 g/m².
If the fabric is dyed a single uniform colour instead of bleached
Dyed fabrics of the same blend and weight fall under subheading 5210.31, which covers dyed plain weave fabrics.
If the fabric contains more than 50% polyester by weight
When man-made fibres predominate, classification shifts to Chapter 55 for woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibres.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the fabric's weight and cotton content are clearly documented on the commercial invoice to support classification under 5210.21.00
• Be aware that the CBSA may request a sample for verification of the blend ratio and weave construction
• If the fabric is imported in rolls, confirm it is not considered 'made up' under Section XI Note 7, which would change classification
