Import Tips
• Confirm the fabric's weight and thread count to ensure it meets the lightweight criteria (under 170 g/m² and ≤33 ends/picks per cm²) if claiming a reduced rate
• Have a laboratory analysis or supplier certificate showing the acrylic staple fibre content exceeds 85% by weight
• Be prepared to explain the end use (crafts or filtration) if the CBSA questions whether it is a 'made up' article
