This is a twill weave fabric made from synthetic staple polyester fibers, weighing approximately 250 gsm, used primarily for upholstery in furniture and automotive interiors. It falls under HTS 5515.99.90.40 due to its twill weave construction and composition of synthetic staple fibers, excluding specific types like poplin or sheeting. The durable weave provides a diagonal ribbed texture ideal for high-wear applications.

Import Tips
• Verify weave type via lab testing to confirm twill construction, as misclassification to plain weave (5515.99.90.00) is common
• Include detailed yarn composition and gsm documentation to avoid reclassification under Chapter 54 for filament yarns
• Label country of origin clearly, as synthetic fabrics often face additional scrutiny under trade agreements like USMCA
