Dance Tutu Netting from Japan
Dance Tutu Netting is a stiff, multi-layer tulle netting specifically used for ballet tutus. It is classified under tariff item 5804.10.00 as a tulle or other net fabric because it is a machine-made net with a fine mesh, not woven or knitted. The stiffness is typically achieved through finishing treatments that do not alter its essential character as a net fabric.

Import Tips
• Confirm that any stiffening treatment does not involve impregnation, coating, or lamination with plastics or rubber, which would shift classification to Chapter 59
• Keep records of the fibre composition and mesh construction to present to the CBSA upon request
• If the netting is cut to shape for tutus, it may be considered 'made up' and fall under Chapter 61 or 62
