Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the fabric is truly bleached and not merely treated with a fugitive dye, as this affects classification
• Declare the cotton content by weight and the exact weight per square metre on the CBSA documentation
• If the fabric is cut to size or hemmed, it may be considered 'made up' and fall under a different chapter
