Import Tips & Compliance
• Clearly state the 50/50 cotton-polyester blend on all import documents, as this determines classification under 5210.21.00
• Be prepared to provide a sample if the CBSA questions the fibre composition
• Verify that the fabric is not considered 'made up' under Section XI Note 7, which would change the tariff classification
