Import Tips
• The spandex component is an elastomeric yarn and does not affect the classification, as the fabric retains its essential character as a woven fabric of artificial staple fibres
• Ensure the polyester content is less than 85% by weight and cotton is the main other fibre
• Declare the spandex percentage accurately, as it may affect the fibre composition calculation
