Bio-Based Polyester Tow from Germany

Polyester filament tow produced from bio-based PET (plant-derived PTA), used for sustainable staple fibres. The bio-based origin does not change the chemical composition, which remains polyester, so it falls under tariff item 5501.20.00.

Duty Rate — Germany → Canada

Import Tips

• Document the bio-based content percentage, as it may affect eligibility for certain environmental programs or duty relief

• Ensure the tow meets Chapter 55 Note 1 specifications

• Be prepared to provide a certificate of analysis confirming the polyester composition
