Import Tips & Compliance
• > Confirm the voile's weight and thread count, as very low density may suggest classification in Chapter 58 (e.g
• narrow fabrics)
• Ensure the fabric is not impregnated or coated, which would move it to Chapter 59
• Provide a fibre analysis certificate if the staple/filament ratio is questioned
