Bleached Polyester Single Jersey Fabric from Japan

Bleached single jersey knitted fabric from 100% polyester artificial/synthetic fibers, primarily for base layers and underwear production. Falls precisely under HTS 6006.41.00.85 for other bleached artificial fiber knits without further processing. The uniform bleaching enhances whiteness for light-colored garments.

Import Tips

• Distinguish 'bleached' from 'optically brightened'; only peroxide/chlorine bleaching keeps it in 6006.41

• Provide knit gauge (stitches per inch) data; raschel/warp knits may require 6002 reclassification

• Avoid bulk packaging over 50kg rolls, as retail-packed fabric shifts to specific statistical suffixes
