Bleached Modal Staple Fiber Broadcloth from Japan
This is an unnapped plain weave broadcloth made from 100% bleached modal staple fibres, an artificial textile material. It is classified under this tariff item because it contains 85% or more by weight of artificial staple fibres and is bleached. The fabric does not have a square construction and does not meet the definitions of other specific fabric types, so it is classified as 'other' within this subheading, making it suitable for dress shirts and lightweight garments.

Import Tips
• Confirm the modal staple fibre content is 85% or more by weight and that the fabric is bleached
• Provide technical specifications showing the fabric is unnapped and does not meet the definitions of poplin, sheeting, or printcloth
• If the fabric is 'made up' (e.g
• cut to size with hemmed edges), it may be classified elsewhere in Section XI
