Import Tips

• Verify that the bamboo viscose is classified as an artificial staple fibre and not as a synthetic fibre, as this determines the tariff item

• Ensure the thread is not put up for retail sale in a way that exceeds Section Note 4 weight limits

• Provide CBSA with a fibre analysis certificate to confirm the artificial origin
