Bleached Osnaburg Cotton-Polyester Sheeting Fabric from Germany

This heavy-duty bleached sheeting fabric is made from a blend of less than 85% cotton mixed with polyester, weighing over 200 g/m², and classified as Osnaburg due to its plain weave, coarse texture, and specific yarn count meeting subheading 5211.20.21.25 criteria. It is commonly used for industrial packaging and backing materials. The bleaching process lightens the fabric while maintaining its durability for rough applications.

Import Tips

• Verify fabric weight exceeds 200 g/m² and cotton content is under 85% via lab testing to confirm HTS 5211.20 classification

• Obtain mill test certificates documenting weave (plain), bleaching, and Osnaburg specs (313) to avoid reclassification

• Check for quantitative restrictions on cotton blends; declare exact composition to prevent customs delays
