This heavy woven fabric, weighing over 200 g/m², contains 70% cotton mixed with 30% polyester and features a dyed 3-thread twill weave with a napped finish for warmth and durability. The napping process raises fibers on one side, providing insulation ideal for workwear. It falls under HTS 5211.32.0040 due to its mixed fiber composition, weight, dyed twill structure, and napped surface.

Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% cotton with man-made fibers; discrepancies lead to reclassification
• Provide weave structure certification (3/4-thread twill) and weight documentation (gsm) to avoid audits
• Include napping process details in invoice to distinguish from non-napped twills under 5211.32.0040
