Import Tips

• Ensure the fabric's weight exceeds 170 g/m² and that polyester staple fibres account for less than 85% by weight, with cotton as the main other fibre

• Declare the fabric as 'printed' and provide a laboratory analysis if requested by the CBSA to confirm fibre content and weight

• Verify whether the fabric is classifiable under Chapter 55 or excluded by Section XI notes, such as if it is coated or laminated
