Heavyweight Nylon Packcloth Fabric from Mexico
This woven fabric is made from 100% nylon filament yarns of different colors, weighing over 170 g/m², used for durable backpacks and outdoor gear. It falls under HTS 5407.43.20.60 due to its high nylon content, multi-color yarns, and weight exceeding 170 g/m², distinguishing it from lighter synthetic fabrics. The plain weave construction provides strength for heavy-duty applications.

Import Tips
• Verify yarn composition via lab tests to confirm ≥85% polyamide content and document multi-color yarn usage for customs
• Provide weight certificates showing >170 g/m² to avoid misclassification into lighter fabric subheadings
• Label fabrics clearly with fiber content per FTC rules; common pitfall is incorrect weave reporting leading to audits
