Import Tips

• Ensure the thread is made wholly of artificial staple fibres (e.g

• acetate) and not blended with synthetic fibres, as blends may change classification

• Declare the fibre composition and weight per unit to CBSA for accurate tariff assessment

• Verify whether the thread is put up for retail sale, as this affects the applicable tariff item
