Printed Cotton Cheesecloth Grade 226 from Germany

This is a printed plain weave cotton cheesecloth classified under HTS 5208.52.40.90, containing 85% or more cotton, weighing over 100 g/m² but not more than 200 g/m², with yarn numbers 43 to 68. The printing on the fabric distinguishes it from unbleached or dyed versions, and its loose open weave structure makes it ideal for straining and filtering applications. It meets the specific 'cheesecloth (226)' statistical suffix for this weight and count range.

Import Tips

• Verify fabric weight and yarn number via lab testing to confirm 100-200 g/m² and numbers 43-68; ensure printing is clearly documented as it affects classification from unprinted subheadings

• Provide mill certificates for cotton content ≥85% to avoid reclassification; watch for quantitative restrictions on certain cotton origins
