Import Tips & Compliance

• Since the fabric contains three textile materials, apply Section Note 2 to determine the predominant fibre by weight; flax at 40% is the largest single component

• Keep detailed specifications of the yarn composition and weave to present to the CBSA

• If the fabric is imported in rolls exceeding 30 cm in width, it is classifiable as woven fabric, not as made-up articles
