Import Tips

• The unsanforized (raw) state of the fabric does not affect classification, as it is still a woven fabric of artificial staple fibres

• Ensure the viscose content is less than 85% by weight and cotton is the main other fibre

• Be aware that shrinkage characteristics may need to be disclosed to buyers but do not impact tariff classification
