Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm that the plaid pattern is achieved through yarns of different colours and not by printing
• Ensure the fabric weight is accurately declared, as exceeding 200 g/m² would change the tariff classification
• If the fabric is for button-down shirts, consider whether it meets any specific labelling requirements for textile products in Canada
