If man-made fibers exceed cotton content
Predominantly man-made (>50% typically) shifts to Chapter 54 for woven man-made filament fabrics.
If sold as a set with trims for apparel
Sets for retail sale may classify under 5212 as made-up articles rather than bulk fabric.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include certification of average yarn number if challenged, using US note formulas for plain weave fabrics
• Declare print process (e.g
• reactive printing) to distinguish from dyed fabrics in adjacent subheadings
• Avoid bulk packaging misclassification; retail-ready bolts may qualify for different statistical suffixes
