It is classified under HTS 5514.30.32.80 due to its specific composition (less than 85% polyester), weight, twill structure, and multi-colored yarns, distinguishing it from plain weaves or lighter fabrics in Chapter 55.

Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% polyester and mainly cotton mix, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification
• Provide weave structure documentation (e.g
• twill analysis) and weight certificates to avoid disputes over 170 g/m² threshold
• Label color variations clearly; ensure no napping that might confuse with other twill subheadings
