Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the fabric is not 'made up' (e.g
• cut to size with hemmed edges) as that would move it to another chapter
• Declare the fibre composition accurately; if mixed with other fibres, the predominant fibre by weight determines classification
• Keep supplier specifications showing plain weave and yarn counts to support the tariff classification
