Import Tips
• Ensure the tow meets Chapter 55 Note 1 specifications, especially the filament decitex (<67 dtex) and total measurement (>20,000 dtex)
• Document the tow's length and twist for CBSA verification
• If the tow is cut to staple fibres before import, it would fall under a different heading
