Import Tips
• Ensure the felt is not impregnated, coated, or laminated with plastics or rubber in a way that changes its classification to Chapter 39 or 40
• Declare the fibre composition accurately, as polyester content determines the applicable duty rate
• Keep supplier documentation on the manufacturing process (needleloom vs. other bonding) ready for CBSA verification
