Import Tips & Compliance
• > Ensure the fabric is not "made up" (e.g
• cut into garment pieces) as that would shift classification to Chapter 62
• Provide a fibre analysis report to confirm the polyester staple content is below 85% by weight
• Check if the fabric has any special finishes (e.g
• stain-resistant) that might affect classification
