Import Tips
• For suiting fabric, ensure it is not considered 'made up' (e.g
• cut to pattern pieces), which would exclude it from Chapter 55
• Confirm the fabric is unbleached, not dyed or printed, and that the polyester staple fibre content is below 85% by weight
• Keep a fibre analysis report available for CBSA verification
