Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the hand-loom certification is from the exporting government and is presented to the CBSA upon request
• Verify the fabric meets the plain weave and weight criteria (over 200 g/m²) to avoid reclassification
• If the fabric has special finishes like flame resistance, confirm whether such treatments alter the tariff classification
