Heavyweight Polyester Canvas Fabric from Japan
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.

Import Tips

• Provide detailed yarn composition reports showing ≥85% polyester filaments to avoid reclassification
• Ensure dyeing process documentation, as undyed equivalents fall under different subheadings
