Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the fabric is a nonwoven rather than a stitch-bonded felt
Nonwovens are classified under heading 56.03, which covers fabrics made from a web of fibres bonded by mechanical, chemical or thermal means other than stitching.
If the fabric is impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics
Textile fabrics impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics are classified in Chapter 59, not Chapter 56.

The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the fabric is not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics or rubber in a way that would shift classification to Chapter 39 or 40
• Declare the fibre composition (e.g
• 100% polyester) to support classification under 5602.10.00
• Keep supplier specifications showing the stitch-bonding process, as CBSA may request evidence
