Import Tips & Compliance
• Declare the fibre content accurately—ramie is a bast fibre of heading 53.03, but blends with other fibres may require classification under a different chapter per Section XI Note 2
• If the lining is cut to shape for a specific garment, it may be considered a made-up article
• Check whether the fabric has been dyed or printed, as this does not affect the heading but may affect the statistical suffix
