Import Tips

• Ensure the placket is properly declared as a knitted part of a garment, not as a finished shirt, to avoid misclassification

• Have documentation showing the silk content and knit construction ready for CBSA inspection

• Verify whether the goods qualify for preferential tariff treatment under a free trade agreement
