Polyester-Cotton Multi-Color Plaid Shirt Fabric from Germany
This woven fabric contains 70% artificial staple fibers mixed with 30% polyester filament yarns of different colors, forming a distinctive plaid pattern ideal for casual shirts. It falls under HTS 5516.23.00.90 as it has less than 85% artificial staple fibers, mixed mainly with man-made filaments, and features yarns of different colors. The 'other' category applies as it does not fit specific subheadings like jacquard or sateen weave.

Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm less than 85% artificial staple fibers and filament mixing for accurate classification
• Provide mill certificates and yarn specifications to customs to avoid misclassification as 100% staple fiber fabrics
• Label color yarn composition clearly to prevent disputes over 'yarns of different colors' criterion
