Import Tips & Compliance

• Ensure the fabric's composition is accurately declared, as the classification depends on the predominance of polyester staple fibres by weight

• Provide a lab test report or manufacturer's specification to the CBSA if requested

• Verify that the fabric is not considered 'made up' under Section XI Note 7, which would shift classification
