Import Tips
• Verify that the fabric weight exceeds 170 g/m² and that the polyester staple fibre content is below 85% by weight
• The CBSA may require a fibre analysis certificate to confirm the composition
• If the fabric is sold in rolls, ensure it is not considered 'made up' within the meaning of Section XI Note 7, which would exclude it from Chapter 55
