Dyed Bamboo Viscose-Wool Upholstery Fabric
A heavyweight, dyed woven fabric made from bamboo viscose artificial filaments blended with wool, intended for furniture upholstery. Bamboo viscose is an artificial filament that predominates by weight, so the fabric falls under tariff item 5408.32.00 for other dyed woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn. It is durable and suitable for commercial and residential upholstery.

If the fabric is impregnated, coated, or laminated with plastics
Textile fabrics coated with plastics are classified in Chapter 59.
If the fabric is printed rather than dyed
Printed artificial filament fabrics are classified under a different tariff item.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify that the bamboo viscose filament weight exceeds the wool; if wool predominates, the fabric would be classified in Chapter 51
• For upholstery fabric, check if it has been coated or laminated with plastics or rubber — if so, it may fall under Chapter 39 or 40
• Have a flammability test certificate ready if the fabric is for commercial upholstery
