Cotton Blowroom Waste from Mexico
Cotton blowroom waste is the residue collected during the initial opening and cleaning of raw cotton in textile mills. It contains dust, trash, and short fibres, making it unsuitable for spinning but useful for applications like biofuel or mulch. As a byproduct of yarn production, it qualifies as 'other' cotton waste under tariff item 5202.99.00.

Import Tips
• Ensure the waste is free of contaminants like metal or plastic, as CBSA may require a detailed description of the fibre content
• Keep records of the source (e.g
• ginning or spinning operations) to support classification under 5202.99.00
• Verify if the waste qualifies for duty-free treatment under Canada's preferential trade agreements
