Bleached Cotton-Polyester Cheesecloth 50 Mesh from Mexico
This cheesecloth is a lightweight plain weave fabric with less than 85% cotton mixed mainly with polyester, weighing under 200 g/m², and having an average yarn number between 43 and 68. It is bleached and specifically classified as cheesecloth due to its open mesh structure ideal for straining and filtering. The HTS 5210.21.60.90 applies because it meets the criteria for mixed cotton-manmade fiber cheesecloth in this yarn number range.

Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab test to confirm <85% cotton mixed mainly with man-made fibers; discrepancies can lead to reclassification
• Provide weave analysis and yarn number calculation per US Note formulas to prove 43-68 range and plain weave structure
• Ensure bleaching process documentation to avoid confusion with unbleached subheadings like 5210.11
