Import Tips
• Document the fabric's weight and fibre composition accurately, as the 170 g/m² threshold is critical for classification
• Ensure the fabric is not 'made up' within the meaning of Section XI Note 7, such as hemmed or cut to shape
• If the fabric is intended for aprons, verify whether the aprons themselves are classified elsewhere as made-up articles
