Printed Poly-Cotton Cheesecloth for Filtering from China

This printed cheesecloth is a lightweight woven fabric with less than 85% cotton mixed mainly with polyester man-made fibers, weighing under 200 g/m², featuring a plain weave with yarn numbers 43 to 68. It is specifically classified as cheesecloth (226) due to its open, low-density construction ideal for straining and filtering. The printed pattern adds decorative utility for food preparation or crafts.

Import Tips

Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton mixed with MMF, as exceeding 85% shifts to 5208

Provide weave analysis and yarn number calculations per US note formulas to avoid misclassification as other plain weaves

Include documentation proving weight ≤200 g/m² and printed status, common pitfalls include unprinted imports defaulting to unprinted subheadings
