Import Tips
• Verify the braid is not impregnated, coated, or laminated with plastics or rubber, as that would exclude it from Chapter 58
• Provide a detailed product description to CBSA showing it is a braid in the piece for headwear ornamentation
• Confirm the abaca fibre content and absence of embroidery
