Heavyweight Blue Denim Cheesecloth Alternative from Mexico
This acrylic staple blue denim fabric mimics cheesecloth structure with ≤33 ends/picks per cm but exceeds 170 g/m², disqualifying from note (d); still 88% acrylic. Under HTS 5512.29.0010 for denim-specific classification. Suited for filtration and lightweight industrial uses despite weight.

• Label as 'denim' only if color matches (225); generic blue may go to broader categories
