Import Tips
• The absence of stretch fibres does not affect classification, as the fabric is still a woven fabric of artificial staple fibres
• Ensure the polyester content is less than 85% by weight and cotton is the main other fibre
• Provide a detailed specification sheet including weave type and yarn colour information to your customs broker
