Import Tips
• Confirm that the acrylic staple fibres are less than 85% by weight and that wool or fine animal hair is the predominant other fibre, as per Section Note 2
• Keep records of the yarn colours and weaving process, since classification as 'yarns of different colours' requires that the fabric is not printed or dyed after weaving
• If the fabric is sold in cut pieces for suits, ensure it is not considered 'made up' under Section Note 7
