Import Tips
• Ensure the fabric is presented in the piece and not cut to size, as cut pieces may be considered 'made up' and fall outside Chapter 55
• Verify that the fabric is not coated or laminated with plastics or rubber, which would exclude it from this heading
• Provide a commercial invoice describing the fabric as 'printed woven fabric of polyester staple fibres mixed with cotton, under 170 g/m²'
