Import Tips

• Declare the fibre composition accurately, as the synthetic fibre must be the predominant material by weight for this tariff item

• Keep supplier fibre test reports on file in case CBSA requests verification

• Note that the 39% alpaca content does not change the classification, but it may affect the value for duty
