Import Tips
• Differentiate this fabric from true terry towelling of heading 58.02 by ensuring it is a woven pile fabric with uncut weft pile, not a looped pile of the terry type
• Provide the CBSA with a sample or technical specification to confirm the pile structure
• Verify the polyester content, as fabrics with a mix of fibers may require classification based on the predominant material
