Heavyweight Polyester Canvas Fabric
This woven fabric consists of 100% polyester filaments, dyed throughout, and weighs 220 g/m², exceeding the 170 g/m² threshold for HTS 5407.69.20.60. It features a durable plain weave suitable for industrial applications like tarpaulin covers. Classification falls here due to its high polyester content, dyed finish, and weight over 170 g/m².

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If less than 85% polyester, blended with other synthetics
Blends under 85% polyester filaments classify under heading 5407.52 for mixed synthetic compositions.

Undyed woven polyester fabrics over 170 g/m² go to 5407.61, differentiating by color processing.
If coated or laminated with plastics for waterproofing

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify weight certification via lab testing to confirm >170 g/m², as underweight shifts to lighter categories
• Provide detailed yarn composition reports showing ≥85% polyester filaments to avoid reclassification
• Ensure dyeing process documentation, as undyed equivalents fall under different subheadings
