Import Tips
• Confirm the coating is visible with the naked eye; if not, the fabric may be classified as uncoated textile in Chapters 50-55
• Maintain records of the coating composition and application method for CBSA verification
• If the cloth is imported in rolls, ensure it is not considered 'made up' under Section XI Note 7, which would affect classification
