Stretch polyester-cotton denim twill is a 3-thread twill fabric that incorporates a small elastane component within the polyester staple fibres mixed with cotton, weighing over 170 g/m². The contrasting coloured yarns give it the denim look, while the elastane provides stretch. It is classified under tariff item 5514.30.00 as a woven fabric of synthetic staple fibres, containing less than 85% by weight of such fibres, mixed mainly or solely with cotton, of a weight exceeding 170 g/m², and made of yarns of different colours, provided the elastane does not change the essential character.

Import Tips
• Ensure the fabric weight exceeds 170 g/m² and that the polyester staple fibre content is below 85% by weight
• The elastane content must be considered in the fibre analysis, as it may affect the classification under Section XI Note 2
• The CBSA may require a detailed fibre composition breakdown to confirm the classification
