This lightweight woven fabric is made from 60% cotton and 40% polyester, bleached for a clean white finish, with an average yarn number of 40 (42 or lower). It falls under HTS 5210.21.40 due to its plain weave, weight under 200 g/m², and low yarn number classification for mixed cotton-manmade fiber fabrics.

Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab test to confirm <85% cotton mixed with man-made fibers; discrepancies lead to reclassification

• Provide weave analysis and yarn number calculation per US Note formulas to prove 'number 42 or lower'

• Ensure bleaching process documentation to avoid confusion with unbleached subheadings
