Cotton-Spandex Stripe Bedding Fabric from Japan
A striped bedding fabric of 82% cotton, 15% polyester, and 3% spandex, weighing 150 g/m², woven from coloured stripe yarns. The cotton content below 85% and the presence of man-made fibres (including elastomeric spandex) place it under this tariff item for lightweight mixed fabrics of different colours.

Import Tips
• Because the fabric contains spandex, confirm that the elastomeric yarn does not alter the essential character; Section Note 10 allows classification here if it remains a textile fabric
• Provide a detailed fibre breakdown by weight on the invoice to show cotton predominates
• Ensure the fabric is not 'made up' (e.g
• cut to size) as that would exclude it from Chapter 52
