Import Tips

• Verify that the cotton content is not the predominant fibre; if cotton predominates, the fabric may fall under a different chapter

• Confirm the polyester is present as filaments, not staple, to meet the 'mixed mainly or solely with man-made filaments' condition

• Keep a detailed fibre breakdown to support the classification
