Bleached Napped Cotton-Polyester Twill Work Pants Fabric from Mexico
This heavy woven fabric, weighing over 200 g/m², contains 70% cotton mixed with 30% polyester and features a napped 3-thread twill surface for added warmth and texture. The bleaching process lightens the fabric while maintaining its durability, classifying it under HTS 5211.20.22.40 due to the specified twill weave, napping, and fiber composition. It's commonly used for manufacturing rugged workwear like pants and jackets.

Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm less than 85% cotton mixed mainly with man-made fibers, as required for Chapter 52 classification
• Provide weave certification showing 3- or 4-thread twill and napping documentation to avoid misclassification under plain weave subheadings
• Check weight per m² exceeds 200 g/m² post-scouring; common pitfall is incorrect measurement due to residual sizing
