Import Tips & Compliance
• The selvedge edge is a characteristic of the weaving process and does not make the fabric 'made up' within the meaning of Section XI Note 7
• Ensure the polyester content is less than 85% by weight and cotton is the main other fibre
• The fabric is supplied in rolls, which is typical for piece goods and does not affect classification
