Import Tips

• Ensure the silk content is above 85% by weight, as tussah silk blends may fall under different headings

• Provide a sample or detailed specification to help CBSA officers identify the fabric's texture and composition

• If the fabric is used for drapery, confirm whether it is treated with flame retardants, which may affect classification
