Polyester-Viscose Rayon Duck Canvas Fabric from China

This heavy-duty woven duck fabric is made primarily from polyester staple fibers mixed with viscose rayon staple fibers, meeting the 'duck (219)' specification for Chapter 55 with its plain weave construction and weight exceeding typical lighter fabrics. It is classified under HTS 5515.11.00.35 due to its synthetic staple fiber composition and specific duck characteristics, distinguishing it from pure cotton or other blends. Commonly used for durable applications requiring strength and breathability.

Provide weave specifications and weight (gsm) documentation to prove 'duck (219)' status, avoiding misclassification as general 'other' fabrics

Include statistical note compliance evidence, as duck excludes certain low-density or heavy yarn constructions common in pitfalls
