Import Tips

• Be prepared to provide a laboratory analysis of fibre content if requested by the CBSA

• If the fabric is intended for garments, ensure it is imported as fabric, not as finished clothing, to stay under this tariff item

• Verify the fabric is not considered 'made up' under Section XI Note 7
