Import Tips
• Maintain clear records of the fabric's weave type and fibre percentages to support the classification
• Verify that the fabric is not impregnated, coated, or covered with plastics or rubber, which would exclude it from Chapter 55
• If the fabric is imported in rolls, ensure it is not considered 'made up' by having hemmed edges or being cut to size
