Import Tips
• Verify that the polyester staple fibre content is 85% or more by weight; the spandex is a minor component and does not affect the classification
• Ensure the fabric is dyed and not treated with rubber, as rubber-coated fabrics fall under Chapter 40
• Provide a detailed fibre breakdown to the CBSA, including the spandex percentage, to avoid misclassification
