Import Tips
• Note that the denim definition in Chapter 52 applies only to subheadings 5209.42 and 5211.42, which require weights over 200 g/m²; this fabric's lower weight keeps it in 5208.23.00
• Ensure the fabric is bleached, not dyed, and document the cotton content and weight for CBSA
• If the fabric is cut to size for garments, it may be classified as a 'made up' article
