Import Tips & Compliance

• Ensure the fabric's cotton content exceeds 85% by weight and the weight is under 200 g/m² to qualify for this tariff item

• Keep a laboratory analysis certificate or supplier specification sheet ready for CBSA officers

• Verify whether the fabric is 'made up' (e.g

• cut to size with hemmed edges) as that would shift classification to a different chapter
