Import Tips

• Napping is a finishing process that does not affect classification under this tariff item, provided the fabric's weight and thread count still meet the printcloth specifications

• Confirm the napping does not obscure the weave structure or add significant weight exceeding 170 g/m²

• Declare the napping process to the CBSA to avoid confusion with pile fabrics, which fall under other headings
