Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the cotton content is 85% or more by weight
Higher cotton content would place the fabric in a heading for cotton fabrics without man-made fibre mixing.
If the fabric is of yarns of different colours instead of printed
This subheading covers woven fabrics of cotton mixed with man-made fibres, over 200 g/m², with yarns of different colours.
If polyester predominates by weight over cotton
Section Note 2 requires classification by the predominant textile material, which would be polyester in Chapter 55.
