Import Tips
• Verify the fibre composition and ensure the hemp blend is not predominantly cotton or man-made fibres, which would change the classification
• Ensure the garment has no pockets below the waist or tightening at the bottom to qualify as a blouse
• Provide a detailed fibre breakdown to CBSA to support the 'other textile materials' classification
