It meets HTS 5512.29.0035 specifications for synthetic staple fiber content over 85% acrylic, used for durable outdoor applications. The '219' statistical suffix denotes its duck classification per chapter 55 notes.

Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm 85%+ acrylic staple fibers, as blends under 85% shift to 5515 headings

• Provide weave structure documentation (ends/picks per cm) to customs to validate 'duck' status beyond cheesecloth limits

• Avoid misclassification as poplin by ensuring non-square construction and weight over 170 g/m² if applicable
