Import Tips & Compliance

• Confirm that the ikat pattern is achieved through yarns of different colours rather than printing, as this is essential for classification under this tariff item

• Provide a fibre analysis certificate to the CBSA to verify the artificial staple fibre content is below 85%

• Be aware that the fabric must be in the piece, not made up, to fall under Chapter 55
