Bast Fiber Blended Tow from Japan
Bast fiber blended tow is a mixture of jute and kenaf fibers, processed and cleaned but not spun, used as a raw material for coarse yarns or stuffing. It falls under this tariff item as 'other' tow and waste of textile bast fibers, since it is not a single fiber type and is not excluded by the notes.

Import Tips
• Provide a detailed fiber composition breakdown to support classification under 'other' bast fibers
• Keep records of the processing steps (e.g
• cleaning, carding) to show the tow is not spun
• Verify if the blend qualifies for any preferential tariff treatment under Canada's trade agreements
