Bleached Poly-Cotton Basketweave Fabric 180 g/m² from China
A bleached basketweave fabric of 180 g/m², blending 80% cotton with 20% polyester staple fibres. The fabric is bleached and has a distinctive basketweave texture. It falls under tariff item 5514.19.00 as an 'other' woven fabric of synthetic staple fibres mixed mainly with cotton, exceeding 170 g/m², unbleached or bleached, despite the cotton predominating by weight, because the heading covers fabrics with less than 85% synthetic staple fibres mixed with cotton.

Import Tips
• Note that this fabric has more cotton than polyester, but it still falls under heading 55.14 because it contains less than 85% synthetic staple fibres mixed with cotton and exceeds 170 g/m²
• Ensure the fabric is not made up (e.g
• hemmed or cut to shape), which would exclude it from Chapter 55
• Provide the CBSA with a fibre-content analysis to confirm the 20% polyester staple content
