Ramie Formal Handkerchief from Japan
An elegant ramie fibre handkerchief, 48cm x 48cm, with monogram stitching, used as a luxury pocket square. Ramie is a vegetable textile fibre not specifically listed in heading 62.13, so it is classified as 'other textile materials'. The square shape and made-up construction (hemmed edges) meet the chapter's requirements.

Import Tips
• Confirm the ramie fibre is not blended with a predominant textile material that could change classification (see Section XI Note 2)
• Keep records of the fibre composition and dimensions for CBSA verification
• Note that monogram stitching does not affect classification, but ensure the item is not considered a made-up article of Chapter 63
