This woven blue denim fabric blends 70% cotton with 28% polyester staple fibers and 2% spandex, exceeding 170 g/m², used primarily for stretch jeans. It falls under HTS 5514.30.39.10 due to its synthetic staple fiber content under 85%, mixed mainly with cotton, yarns of different colors, and specific blue denim classification. The weight and mixed composition distinguish it from pure cotton denims.

Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% synthetic staple fibers mixed mainly with cotton, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification

• Provide mill certificates showing weight >170 g/m² and yarn color variations to avoid disputes at customs

• Label as 'blue denim (225)' explicitly in invoices to match statistical suffix and prevent generalization under broader 5514.30
