Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the slip is knitted or crocheted and not woven, as Chapter 61 covers only made-up knitted or crocheted articles
• Declare the fibre content accurately; acetate is a man-made fibre and must be reported as such to the CBSA
• Keep commercial invoices showing the textile composition by weight to support the classification
