Bleached Twill Cotton Fabric from Japan
A robust bleached twill weave cotton fabric with over 85% cotton content and weight above 200 g/m², used for workwear and upholstery. It qualifies for HTS 5209.29.00 as an 'other' bleached fabric, distinct from denim due to lacking specific yarn color requirements in subheading notes. The twill structure provides durability without coloration.

• Use HTS yarn number formulas for average count declaration to avoid audit delays
• Provide origin certificates if from quota-limited countries under U.S. notes
