Unbleached Recycled Cotton Knit Fabric from Mexico
This is an unbleached knitted fabric made from recycled cotton fibres, intended for use in casual apparel such as t-shirts and sweatshirts. Under the Customs Tariff of Canada, it is classified as 'other' unbleached or bleached cotton knit fabric, as the recycling process does not change its essential character as a cotton textile. It falls under tariff item 6006.21.90 because it is not circular knit from yarns measuring less than 100 decitex per single yarn.

Import Tips
• Ensure the fabric is truly unbleached and not treated with any dye or finish, as this affects classification under 6006.21.90
• Provide a detailed fibre composition breakdown to confirm cotton predominance, especially if blended with other fibres
• Be aware that if the fabric is made up (e.g
• cut to shape or hemmed), it may fall under Chapter 61 or 62 instead
