Unbleached Modal Cheesecloth Alternative from Germany
This is a low-density unbleached modal weave fabric that mimics cheesecloth but slightly exceeds the specifications for cheesecloth as defined in the chapter notes. It is classified under this tariff item because it contains 85% or more by weight of artificial staple fibres and is unbleached, falling under 'other' within this subheading. The open weave makes it suitable for filtration or craft applications.

Import Tips
• Confirm the modal staple fibre content is at least 85% by weight and the fabric is unbleached
• Maintain documentation showing the fabric does not meet the exact cheesecloth definition to support classification as 'other'
• If the fabric is coated or laminated, it may be classified in Chapter 39 or 40
