Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the fabric contains 85% or more by weight of artificial staple fibres
Higher artificial staple content would shift classification to a heading specific to such fabrics.
If the fabric is of yarns of different colours rather than dyed
The colour treatment determines the subheading within the same group.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the fabric's fibre composition is accurately declared, as the under-85% artificial staple threshold affects classification
• Provide a laboratory test report if requested by CBSA to confirm fibre percentages
• Verify whether the napping process alters the fabric's essential character, which could impact the tariff classification
