Heavyweight Dyed Cotton Canvas Duck Fabric from China
This is a plain weave cotton duck fabric containing over 85% cotton by weight, dyed evenly throughout, and weighing more than 200 g/m², specifically meeting the 'duck (219)' criteria for tariff classification under HTS 5209.31.60.90. It is commonly used for durable applications like tents, sails, and heavy-duty bags due to its strength and abrasion resistance. The plain weave structure and weight distinguish it from lighter cotton fabrics.

Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight exceeds 200 g/m² via lab testing and provide mill test certificates to confirm compliance with duck (219) specifications
• Ensure dyeing is uniform and documented; declare exact cotton content (>85%) to avoid reclassification to lower-duty subheadings
