Jacquard Woven Cotton Tablecloth Fabric from Japan

This jacquard woven fabric is made from 100% cotton yarns of different colors, weighing 180 g/m² with an average yarn number between 43 and 68. It features intricate jacquard patterns suitable for tablecloths, classified under HTS 5208.49.60.30 due to its high cotton content, multi-color yarns, and specific weave and weight criteria. The 'other' designation applies as it does not match narrower subcategories like denim.

Import Tips

• Verify average yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g

• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing, ensuring it falls between 43-68 for this subheading

• Provide lab test reports confirming ≥85% cotton content and weight ≤200 g/m² to avoid reclassification to heavier fabrics

• Declare jacquard weave explicitly in documentation, as misidentification as plain weave could shift to 5208.49.40
