Import Tips

• Verify that the vinyl layer does not exceed 50% of the product's weight, as felt with more than 50% plastic is classified under Chapter 39

• Provide a sample or technical data sheet to the CBSA to show the needleloom felt is the primary component

• Ensure the felt is not considered 'made up' (e.g

• cut to furniture shape) which may affect classification
