Import Tips & Compliance
• The spandex content is an elastomeric yarn, but as long as the fabric retains the essential character of a cotton blend, it remains in Chapter 52
• Ensure the spandex does not exceed the cotton or polyester in weight, as the classification is based on the predominant fibre
• The fabric must be in plain weave and not napped
