Import Tips & Compliance
• Document the exact fibre percentages by weight, as the artificial filament yarn must predominate over wool for classification under 5408.31.00
• If the fabric is imported in rolls, confirm it is not 'made up' (e.g
• cut to non-rectangular shapes or hemmed) to avoid exclusion from Chapter 54
• Consider obtaining a binding ruling from the CBSA if the wool content is close to the 50% threshold
