Abaca Waste Tow from Germany
Abaca waste tow consists of short fibers and remnants from processing abaca (Manila hemp) plants, cleaned and prepared but not spun into yarn. Although abaca is a leaf fiber, this tow is classified under 'other' textile bast fibers' tow and waste when it is processed but unspun, as it is not explicitly excluded by the chapter notes.

Import Tips
• Ensure the abaca tow is processed but not spun, as spun yarn falls under different headings
• Declare the fiber's origin and processing details to avoid misclassification
• Consult CBSA's tariff classification advice for confirmation
