Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the fabric is printed rather than dyed
Printed woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn are classified separately from dyed ones.
If the alpaca hair content exceeds the lyocell by weight
The fabric would then be classified as a woven fabric of fine animal hair, not artificial filament.
If the fabric is unbleached or bleached instead of dyed
The tariff item distinguishes between unbleached/bleached, dyed, and yarn-dyed fabrics.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the lyocell filament content exceeds the alpaca hair by weight, as classification under 5408.32.00 depends on the artificial filament predominating
• Have a lab test report or mill specification sheet ready to show the CBSA officer if asked
• Verify whether the fabric is 'made up' (e.g
• cut to shape) — if so, it may fall under a later chapter
