Import Tips
• If the fabric contains elastomeric yarns, ensure the classification still applies as long as the synthetic staple fibre content is 85% or more
• If the fabric is imported for making jeans, it should be declared as fabric, not as garments
• Keep detailed fibre content documentation for CBSA inspection
