Bleached Napped Cotton-Polyester Sheeting Fabric from Canada
This heavy-weight woven sheeting fabric, weighing over 200 g/m², contains 70% cotton mixed with 30% polyester man-made fibers and features a napped surface for added texture and warmth. It is bleached for a clean, light appearance and classified under HTS 5211.20.21.50 due to its plain weave, napped finish, and specific weight and composition meeting Chapter 52 criteria for mixed cotton fabrics. The napping process creates a soft, brushed finish on one or both sides.

Import Tips
• Provide lab test reports confirming <85% cotton content mixed mainly with man-made fibers and weight >200 g/m² to avoid reclassification
• Include documentation proving plain weave construction and napped finish, as per subheading specifications, to prevent delays
• Verify bleaching process meets US standards; common pitfall is mislabeling weight after excessive sizing removal as per US note
