Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the fabric's fibre composition is clearly stated on the commercial invoice, as classification depends on the percentage of artificial staple fibres (less than 85%) and the predominance of wool or fine animal hair
• Verify that the fabric is not 'made up' (e.g
• cut to shape or hemmed), as that would shift classification to a later chapter
• If the fabric contains rubber or plastic coatings, it may be excluded from Chapter 55
