Import Tips & Compliance
• > Ensure the fabric's fibre composition is clearly declared on the commercial invoice, as blends with filaments may affect classification
• Provide a laboratory test report if the weight or fibre percentages are disputed by CBSA
• Verify the fabric is not considered "made up" (e.g
• cut to shape) to avoid reclassification
