Import Tips
• Confirm the Lycra-spandex blend is predominantly textile and not considered a plastic sheeting, as that would alter the classification
• For CBSA, clearly label the fiber content (e.g
• 80% nylon, 20% spandex) on the commercial invoice
• If the drawcord includes metal fittings, ensure they are minor, as essential character could shift classification
