Import Tips
• Confirm that the cashmere is classified as fine animal hair under Canadian tariff nomenclature; obtain a lab report on fibre percentages
• Since the fabric is printed, ensure the printing process is documented to support classification under 'printed' rather than 'dyed'
• If the fabric is for upholstery, verify whether it might be subject to additional labelling requirements under Canadian consumer protection laws
