Ramie Velvet-Like Pile Fabric from Japan
This is a woven pile fabric made from ramie (China grass) fibers, mimicking velvet with a raised pile surface for apparel linings or decorative uses. Ramie is a vegetable textile material other than cotton, and the pile construction qualifies it as a woven pile fabric. It falls under tariff item 5801.90.00 for other textile materials.

Import Tips
• Ensure the fabric is not impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated with plastics or rubber, as that would exclude it from Chapter 58
• Verify the ramie content predominates by weight
• Keep a sample or technical specification sheet available for CBSA inspection
