Import Tips
• The weight of the fabric (over 170 g/m²) does not affect classification under tariff item 5516.43.00, as the subheading does not distinguish by weight
• Ensure the viscose content is less than 85% by weight and cotton is the main other fibre
• Provide a detailed specification sheet including fabric weight and fibre composition to your customs broker
