Unbleached Rayon Jersey Knit Fabric from Japan
Unbleached single jersey knit fabric made entirely from viscose rayon artificial fibers, used for casual t-shirts and loungewear bases. It matches HTS 6006.41.00.85 as other unbleached artificial fiber knits, with its tubular or open-width form suitable for cut-and-sew operations. The fabric's natural off-white tone comes directly from fiber production.

Import Tips
• Conduct burn tests or FTIR analysis to prove rayon artificial status vs. cotton, avoiding Chapter 52 misclassification
• Specify 'grey fabric' status on invoices; finished bleached goods risk higher duties under other notes
• Ensure no optical brighteners were added during minimal processing, as that constitutes bleaching treatment
