Polyester Terry Cloth Fabric from Germany
This is a woven weft pile fabric made from polyester yarns, featuring uncut loops that create a soft, absorbent pile surface similar to terry cloth. It falls under HTS 5801.90.20.90 as a woven pile fabric of other textile materials (not cotton, wool, or man-made staple fiber), other than those in headings 5802 or 5806. Commonly used for towels, bath robes, and upholstery where texture is desired.

Import Tips
• Verify the fabric width exceeds 30 cm and selvages are present to avoid reclassification under heading 5806 for narrow woven fabrics
• Provide lab test reports confirming fiber composition as 'other textile materials' (e.g
• polyester filament) to prevent shifts to man-made staple fiber categories
• Declare if floats are uncut per Chapter Note 2; cutting them could change classification to a different pile fabric heading
