Plain weave base fabric of 62% polyester staple and 38% cotton, unbleached, 145 g/m², prepared for printing but not yet printed. Falls under HTS 5513.13.00.90 as 'other' due to exceeding printcloth yarn specs slightly. Common for custom-printed apparel.

Import Tips

• Specify 'base for printing' on docs to prevent premature 5514 classification

• Test for singles yarns only—no multiples to avoid cheesecloth errors

• Declare width if under 168 cm for potential printcloth scrutiny
