Printed Cotton-Polyester Twill Upholstery Fabric from Japan

This heavy-weight printed twill weave fabric blends 60% cotton with 40% polyester staple fibers, exceeding 170 g/m², ideal for durable upholstery on sofas and chairs. It falls under HTS 5514.49.0040 due to its twill weave structure, printed finish, and mixed fiber composition with less than 85% synthetic content. 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
