It is used in stretchy beachwear and activewear where a snug fit and moisture absorption are needed.

Import Tips
• Verify that the spandex content is minor (typically less than 10%) so the fabric is classified as man-made fibre terry
• Provide a fibre weight breakdown to CBSA to support classification
• Ensure the fabric is not coated or laminated with plastics or rubber, which would shift it to Chapter 59
