Poly-Cotton Heavyweight Twill Duck Fabric from Canada
This is a durable woven duck fabric containing 70% cotton mixed with 30% polyester, weighing 280 g/m², featuring a twill weave rather than plain weave. It falls under HTS 5211.19.00.60 as an unbleached fabric of cotton less than 85% by weight mixed with man-made fibers, specifically classified as duck except plain weave. Commonly used for industrial covers and tarps due to its strength.

Import Tips
• Verify exact cotton content via lab testing to confirm <85% and avoid reclassification to pure cotton headings like 5209
• Provide weave structure documentation proving it's duck (heavy plain weave variant or twill) excluding plain weave, and weight certification >200 g/m²
• Watch for bleaching processes; even minimal treatments shift to 5211.21, increasing duties or quota issues
