Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the fabric contains 85% or more by weight of artificial staple fibres and confirm the discharge printing process is documented
• Provide a laboratory analysis report to the CBSA if fibre content is questioned
• Verify the fabric is not considered 'made up' under Section XI Note 7, as that would change classification
