Import Tips
• Ensure the dress is made up (not just cut fabric) and confirm the fibre content is artificial (e.g
• viscose, acetate) to qualify for 6204.44.00
• Keep certificates of origin or folklore certification handy if claiming preferential tariff treatment under a trade agreement
• Declare the correct fibre composition to avoid CBSA reclassification
