Import Tips & Compliance

• Confirm that the viscose fibres are 5 mm or less and the product is in wadding form, not yarn or fabric

• If the wadding is sold in cut-to-size pieces for crafts, ensure it is not 'made up' within the meaning of Section XI Note 7, which could shift classification

• Declare the fibre type as viscose rayon to the CBSA
