Import Tips & Compliance

• Because the fabric resembles denim, be prepared to demonstrate that it does not meet the Chapter Note 1 definition (e.g

• weft yarns not lighter in shade)

• Provide technical specifications of the weave and yarn colours to support classification under 5210.49.00

• Confirm the fabric weight is under 200 g/m², as heavier twills fall under heading 5211
