The weight and weave distinguish it from lighter or plain weave alternatives in Chapter 55.

Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% synthetics mixed mainly with cotton, as misdeclaration shifts to other subheadings

• Provide weave certification (twill/satin) and weight documentation; common pitfall is classifying printed twills as plain weave under 5514.43

• Ensure printing is post-weave to avoid Chapter 59 coated fabric classifications
