Import Tips
• Yak hair qualifies as 'fine animal hair' under Chapter 51 Note 1(b), so ensure the combed yak hair predominates by weight over the polyester staple fibres
• For upholstery fabric, verify it is not coated or laminated with plastics or rubber, as that would exclude it from Chapter 51 under Section XI Note 1(h) or (ij)
• Provide a fibre analysis certificate to the CBSA to support the classification
