Unbleached Cotton Twill Poplin Shirt Fabric from China

This unbleached woven cotton fabric features a twill weave with a weight of 180 g/m², designed specifically for manufacturing men's dress shirts. It falls under HTS 5212.11.60.70 as an unbleached cotton fabric weighing not more than 200 g/m², classified under 'other' satin or twill weave due to its specific construction not matching narrower subcategories. The natural off-white appearance results from minimal processing post-weaving.

Import Tips

• Verify fabric weight via lab testing (≤200 g/m²) and confirm unbleached status with bleaching certificates to avoid reclassification

• Provide detailed weave analysis (twill confirmation) and yarn count documentation per Chapter 52 notes for smooth CBP review

• Watch for quantitative restrictions on cotton imports; ensure origin certificates for non-WTO countries
