Import Tips
• Confirm the gowns are made of cellulose fibres and not of non-woven man-made fibres, which would fall under Chapter 62
• If the gowns are sterile and presented as medical supplies, verify whether they qualify for duty relief
• State the fibre composition and the hospital use on the customs invoice
