Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If cotton content is 85% or more
Higher cotton content moves the fabric to a heading for cotton alone.
If the stripes are woven from different coloured yarns
Yarn-dyed fabrics are classified separately from printed ones.
If the fabric is impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics
Section note 1(h) excludes such fabrics from Chapter 52.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Note that spandex is an elastomeric yarn; its presence does not change classification if cotton still predominates
• Ensure the total man-made fibre content (polyester + spandex) is accurately declared
• Verify the fabric is not considered 'made up' under Section note 7
