Import Tips & Compliance
• The brushing finish does not affect classification, but ensure the fabric is not considered 'made up' (e.g
• cut to shape or hemmed) as that would exclude it from Chapter 55
• Provide a detailed product specification sheet to your customs broker, including fibre percentages and weave construction
• Be aware that the fabric must not be impregnated, coated, or laminated with plastics or rubber, which would move it to another chapter
