Heavy Printed Cotton-Mohair Upholstery from Japan

An upholstery fabric made of 50% cotton and 50% mohair, printed with a velvet-like finish, weighing 290 g/m². Since cotton and mohair are equal by weight, Section Note 2(A) directs classification to the heading occurring last in numerical order, which is Chapter 52 for cotton, making this fabric eligible for tariff item 5212.25.00.

Import Tips

• For equal fibre blends, Section Note 2(A) requires classification by the heading that occurs last in numerical order; here, cotton (Chapter 52) comes after mohair (Chapter 51)

• Provide a certificate of analysis to confirm the 50/50 blend

• Ensure the fabric is not coated or laminated with plastics, which would exclude it from Chapter 52
