Import Tips

• Verify the yarn is not put up for retail sale (e.g

• not on small spools under 125 g) to avoid reclassification

• Maintain accurate records of the yarn's composition and construction for CBSA audits

• Consider whether the yarn qualifies for duty-free treatment under a trade agreement
