Import Tips
• Ensure the PVC lamination is visible to the naked eye and the product can be bent manually around a 7 mm cylinder without fracturing, as per chapter note 2
• Declare the man-made fibre content accurately, as this determines eligibility for tariff item 5903.90.20
• Keep supplier documentation on the plastic content by weight to support your classification if requested by the CBSA
