Napped Printed Cotton Denim Work Pants Fabric from China

This heavy-weight woven cotton fabric, over 85% cotton and weighing more than 200 g/m², features a printed 3-thread twill denim structure with a napped surface for added warmth and texture. The napping process raises fibers on one side, providing insulation ideal for workwear, while the printing adds decorative patterns. It falls under HTS 5209.52.00.40 due to its twill weave, high cotton content, weight, printing, and napped finish.

Import Tips

Verify fabric weight exceeds 200 g/m² and cotton content ≥85% via lab testing to confirm classification; include mill test certificates

Provide documentation proving napped finish and printed design meets 3/4-thread twill specs per subheading notes

Check for quantitative restrictions on cotton imports and ensure origin certificates to avoid quota issues
