Heavy Duty Polyester-Rayon Duck Tarp Fabric from China

A robust duck (219) fabric woven from polyester staple fibers chiefly blended with viscose rayon, designed for tarpaulin applications with high tear strength and water resistance. Falls under HTS 5515.11.00.35 as it matches the 'other' duck specification in synthetic staple fiber weaves mixed solely with viscose rayon. Its plain weave and density align with chapter definitions excluding lighter cheesecloth or printcloth types.

Import Tips

Ensure supplier certificates specify 'duck (219)' weave per statistical notes to prevent reclassification during customs review

Document gsm weight over 170g/m² if applicable, as this distinguishes from lighter poplin or broadcloth under note (a)

Avoid common pitfalls by labeling exact viscose rayon percentage, as minor deviations could trigger cotton-mix alternatives
