Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the fabric does not meet the definition of 'denim' in Chapter Note 1, which requires specific yarn colour patterns; if it does, it still classifies here but with different duty implications
• Confirm the twill is 3-thread or 4-thread and that the fabric is not 'made up'
• Keep samples and technical data for CBSA verification
