Import Tips
• Confirm the fabric's weft pile is uncut at the time of importation, as cut pile would require a different tariff item
• Keep records of the fiber composition and weave structure for CBSA verification
• Check if the fabric qualifies for any preferential tariff treatments under Canada's trade agreements, which may reduce the duty rate
