Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If weighing over 360 g/m² but still denim
Statistical suffix splits at 360 g/m²; heavier blue denim uses 0040 within same subheading.
If mixed with wool instead of man-made fibers
Woven cotton-wool mixes over 200 g/m² classify in Chapter 51, not Chapter 52.
If predominantly man-made if cotton <36.5%
If man-made fibers exceed 63.5%, it shifts to Chapter 54 woven man-made fabrics.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Use formulas from US note (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) for yarn number if average impacts classification
• Ensure selvage exclusion in weave analysis per US note (b) for pure twill confirmation
• Prepare for quota checks if cotton staple relates to raw material notes, though fabric exempt
