Import Tips

• For low-density fabrics like cheesecloth, be ready to provide technical specifications showing the thread count and weight per square metre

• If the fabric is imported for filtering or industrial use, verify whether it meets the definition of 'made up' under Section XI Note 7

• Consider whether the end use might qualify for a different tariff treatment under a free trade agreement
