Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the fabric is dyed a uniform colour rather than printed
Dyed fabrics are classified under a different subheading.
If cotton content is 85% or more
Higher cotton content moves the fabric to a heading for cotton alone.
If acrylic predominates by weight
Section note 2 classifies by the predominating fibre; if acrylic exceeds cotton, Chapter 55 applies.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Clarify that the solid tone is a print, not a dye, to ensure classification under 'printed'
• Keep the acrylic fibre content documentation, as it is a man-made fibre
• Confirm the fabric is not made up, as made-up articles fall under other chapters
