Combed Viscose-Wool Blend Shirting Fabric from Mexico
This is a fine unbleached woven fabric made from combed viscose filament yarns blended mainly with wool (38% by weight), featuring a plain weave construction ideal for crisp shirting. It is classified under tariff item 5408.31.00 as an unbleached woven fabric of artificial filament yarn, with the wool content not exceeding the predominance threshold that would shift classification.

Import Tips
• Ensure the fabric is clearly unbleached and that the viscose filament content predominates by weight over the wool to maintain classification under 5408.31.00
• Provide a laboratory analysis report confirming fibre composition and yarn type (filament vs. staple) to expedite CBSA clearance
• Verify the fabric is not 'made up' within the meaning of Section XI Note 7, as that would exclude it from Chapter 54
