Unbleached Wool-Rayon Blend Suiting Fabric from Canada
This woven fabric is made primarily from artificial filament rayon mixed with over 36% wool by weight, unbleached and not combed, ideal for tailoring men's suits. It falls under HTS 5408.31.0510 due to its artificial filament base with significant wool content, plain weave construction meeting chapter specifications for unbleached mixed fabrics. The high wool proportion provides warmth and drape while rayon adds smoothness.

Import Tips
• Verify wool content via lab testing to confirm ≥36% for this classification; mislabeling risks reclassification to higher duties
• Provide mill certificates documenting unbleached state and filament composition to avoid bleaching disputes at customs
• Ensure documentation specifies 'not combed' fibers to prevent shifts to combed subheadings with different rates
