Import Tips
• If the fabric is treated with flame-retardant chemicals, ensure the treatment does not alter its essential character as a woven fabric of Section XI
• Confirm the fabric is not 'made up' (e.g
• cut to shape or hemmed) as per Section XI Note 7, which would exclude it from Chapter 55
• Provide the CBSA with a detailed specification sheet including fibre content, weight, and any chemical treatments
