Modal Interlock Knit Fabric from Japan
Modal interlock knit fabric is a smooth double-knit textile made from modal fibres, prized for t-shirts and loungewear due to its softness and drape. It is classified under tariff item 6006.90.00 as 'other knitted or crocheted fabrics' because modal is a type of viscose, and knitted fabrics of artificial fibres are not specifically detailed in other headings. The fabric's interlock construction provides stability and a refined surface.

Import Tips
• Confirm the modal fibre content and ensure it is not blended with elastomeric yarn in significant amounts
• Check that the fabric is not coated or laminated, which would change the heading
• Maintain documentation on the knitting construction (interlock) for CBSA review
