Import Tips & Compliance

• Declare the exact fibre blend and weight per square metre, as these are key factors for classification under 5801.37.00

• If the fabric is cut to shape for specific car seats, it may be considered 'made up' and fall under Chapter 63

• Ensure the fabric is not coated or laminated with plastics, which would change the tariff classification
