Import Tips
• Ensure the fabric's fibre composition is verified by a laboratory test report to confirm the alpaca content is 85% or more by weight, as this determines eligibility for this tariff item
• When declaring the goods to the CBSA, provide a detailed product description including weight per square metre and fibre diameter to support classification
• Consider applying for a ruling under the Customs Tariff if you are uncertain about the classification, to avoid delays or penalties
