Bleached Cotton-Polyester Cheesecloth 80x80 Mesh from China

This high-count cheesecloth is woven from yarns containing less than 85% cotton mixed with polyester, bleached for a clean white finish, and weighs under 200 g/m² with a plain weave numbering 69 or higher. It falls under HTS 5210.21.80.90 due to its classification as cheesecloth with the specified yarn number, ideal for straining and filtering in food preparation. The fine mesh structure ensures effective liquid passage while retaining solids.

Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab test to confirm <85% cotton as blends shift classification; provide detailed composition certificates

• Ensure weave is plain and yarn number ≥69 using US note formulas; include mill test reports to avoid reclassification

• Check weight ≤200 g/m² post-scouring; common pitfall is misdeclared weight leading to audits
