Oxford Cotton-Polyester Blend Shirt Fabric from Mexico
This lightweight woven fabric, weighing under 170 g/m², combines synthetic staple fibers (less than 85%) with mainly cotton and features yarns of different colors, classifying it as oxford cloth under HTS 5513.39.0115. Its basketweave structure and subtle color variegation make it ideal for casual shirts and blouses. The statistical note confirms it as oxford due to its plain weave, non-square construction exceeding defined poplin/broadcloth exclusions.

Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% synthetic staple fibers mixed mainly with cotton, as misdeclaration shifts to 5513.31 or 5208 headings
• Provide weave analysis and weight certificates; oxford must exclude poplin/broadcloth specs per statistical notes to avoid reclassification
• Label yarn color differences clearly; uniform color fabrics fall under 5513.39.0100
