Import Tips

• > Ensure the thread is properly declared as sewing thread of synthetic filaments, not as a medical device, to avoid misclassification

• Keep records of the silver ion treatment to confirm it does not change the thread's essential character for customs purposes

• Verify if the antimicrobial property triggers any health or safety documentation requirements from the CBSA
