Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the fabric is in continuous yardage and not cut into squares or rectangles, as 'made up' articles are excluded from Chapter 52
• Keep records of the fabric's weight per square metre and cotton percentage for CBSA verification
• If the fabric is treated with a colourless dressing, this does not affect its bleached status, but any dyeing would change classification
