Alternative Classifications

If the pile is 'long pile' (typically over 5 mm in height)
Long pile fabrics are specifically classified under heading 6001.10, regardless of fibre type.
If the fabric is impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the fabric's weight exceeds 271 g/m² and that it is of man-made fibres, as this determines classification under 6001.92.00
• Keep technical datasheets on flame resistance ready in case CBSA asks for product details
• Verify whether the fabric is 'made up' (e.g
• cut to shape), as that could shift classification to another chapter
