Import Tips
• Ensure the fabric composition is clearly stated on the commercial invoice, as the man-made fibre content must exceed the silk content for classification under 6206.40.00
• Be prepared to provide a sample or technical specification if requested by the CBSA to verify the fibre blend
• Note that the Most-Favoured-Nation (MFN) duty rate applies to imports from WTO members; verify the preferential tariff treatment if importing under a free trade agreement
