Import Tips
• Determine the predominant fiber by weight, as the section notes require classification based on the material that predominates
• Ensure the spandex content does not change the essential character of the fabric, which could affect classification
• Provide the CBSA with the fiber blend percentages and a technical description to support the tariff classification
