Import Tips & Compliance
• >- The rayon content must be declared as a man-made fibre; if it is described as "viscose" or "rayon", CBSA will classify it accordingly
• The soft-hand finish may involve chemical treatments; ensure these do not constitute impregnation or coating that would move the fabric to Chapter 59
• Provide a fibre analysis certificate to support the cotton percentage
