Printed Poly-Cotton Denim Work Pants Fabric from China
This heavy printed fabric is made from 70% cotton and 30% polyester in a 3-thread twill weave, weighing 280 g/m², designed for durable work pants. It falls under HTS 5211.52.00 because it contains less than 85% cotton mixed with man-made fibers, exceeds 200 g/m², is printed, and features the specified twill weave. The denim-like structure with colored warp and lighter weft aligns with chapter definitions for such twills.

Import Tips
• Verify exact fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% cotton and man-made fiber mix, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification
• Provide weave structure documentation proving 3- or 4-thread twill to avoid disputes under subheading notes
• Include weight certificates showing >200 g/m² and printing process details to prevent undervaluation penalties
