Import Tips

• Confirm the fabric's cotton content is less than 85% by weight and that the man-made fibre (viscose) is the main other component, as per the tariff item

• Ensure the fabric weighs more than 200 g/m² and is printed and napped; retain production records to substantiate the fibre blend and finishing processes

• If the fabric is imported as cut pieces for garments, verify it is not 'made up' under Section XI Note 7, which would shift classification to Chapter 62
