Import Tips
• For upholstery fabrics, confirm the fabric is not coated, laminated or otherwise treated in a way that would move it to Chapter 39 or 40
• Keep records of the fibre content and yarn colour specifications to support classification under 5516.13.00
• If the fabric is cut to size and hemmed for upholstery use, it may be considered 'made up' and fall under a different chapter
