Import Tips

• Confirm the fabric is not coated or impregnated with plastics or rubber, as such treatments would reclassify it to Chapter 39 or 40

• Ensure the cotton content is at least 85% by weight; if blended with other fibres, the predominant fibre rule applies

• Declare the fabric's end use (upholstery base) but note that classification is based on construction, not use
