Import Tips
• Ensure the fabric's weight exceeds 170 g/m² and that polyester staple fibres are less than 85% by weight, mixed mainly with cotton, to qualify for this item
• Declare the fabric as unbleached or bleached, not dyed or printed, and provide a laboratory analysis if requested by the CBSA to confirm fibre content
• Verify that the fabric is not 'made up' within the meaning of Section XI Note 7, as that would exclude it from Chapter 55
