Import Tips
• Ensure the fabric's weight and thread count meet the cheesecloth specifications (≤33 ends/picks per cm and ≤170 g/m²) to avoid misclassification
• Declare the fibre content accurately (85%+ acetate staple) and provide a laboratory test report if requested by the CBSA
• Verify whether the fabric is 'made up' (e.g
• cut to shape) as that may shift classification to another chapter
