Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the fabric is not made up (e.g
• cut to shape or hemmed), as made-up articles fall outside Chapters 50–55 per Section XI Note 8
• Keep records of yarn colour composition to substantiate the 'yarns of different colours' classification
• Verify the fibre content—if wool or cotton predominates, the classification may shift to another chapter
