Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the fabric's weight exceeds 200 g/m² and that cotton predominates by weight over wool, as per Section XI Note 2
• Declare the fabric as 'dyed' and provide a laboratory analysis if requested by CBSA to confirm fibre composition
• Verify whether the wool is non-combed, as combed wool may shift classification to a different subheading
