Napped Printed Cotton-Polyester Sheeting Fabric from Canada
This heavy-weight woven fabric, weighing over 200 g/m², contains 70% cotton mixed with 30% polyester man-made fibers and features a printed pattern with a napped finish on one side for added texture and warmth. It falls under HTS 5211.51.00.50 as a plain weave printed sheeting that is napped, distinguishing it from smoother finishes. The napping process raises fibers to create a soft, brushed surface typical for bedding or upholstery applications.

Import Tips
• Verify exact cotton content via lab testing as it must be under 85% to qualify; provide mill test certificates to avoid reclassification
• Include documentation confirming napped finish and weight >200 g/m², with samples if requested by CBP for weave verification
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring print as unbleached—printed fabrics require accurate color process disclosure
