Dyed Rayon Poplin Fabric from Germany

A plain weave dyed fabric made from 100% rayon filament yarn, weighing approximately 120 gsm, used for blouses and linings. It falls under HTS 5408.22.90 as a dyed woven fabric containing 85% or more artificial filament (rayon) and not specifically classified as poplin or broadcloth per statistical notes due to its construction exceeding defined limits. This high-rayon content distinguishes it from synthetic filament fabrics.

Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm 85%+ artificial filament like rayon, as blends under 85% shift to 5408.32

• Provide dyeing process documentation and colorfastness certificates to avoid reclassification during customs inspection

• Label width, weight, and weave type accurately; exceeding poplin specs (e.g

• >170gsm or yarn number limits) keeps it in 'other'
