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.

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
