Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the fabric is not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics or rubber, as that would shift classification to Chapter 59
• Provide a detailed product specification sheet to the CBSA showing fibre content and construction
• If the fabric is cut to size with hemmed edges, it may be considered 'made up' and fall outside Chapter 60
