Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the fabric is clearly unbleached and that the viscose filament content predominates by weight over the wool to maintain classification under 5408.31.00
• Provide a laboratory analysis report confirming fibre composition and yarn type (filament vs. staple) to expedite CBSA clearance
• Verify the fabric is not 'made up' within the meaning of Section XI Note 7, as that would exclude it from Chapter 54
