Alpaca-Synthetic Staple Blend Fabric from China
A plain-weave woven fabric made from synthetic staple fibres blended mainly with alpaca fine hair, designed for luxury linings. The fabric does not meet the specific construction requirements for poplin, sheeting, printcloth, or cheesecloth, so it is classified as an 'other' woven fabric. Under tariff item 5515.99.00, it is grouped with other synthetic staple fabrics mixed with wool or fine animal hair.

Import Tips
• Document the fibre percentages and the weave construction to justify classification under the 'other' category
• Since alpaca is a fine animal hair, confirm it is not excluded by Section XI notes
• Keep records of the fabric's end use, as luxury linings may be subject to different verification by CBSA
