Import Tips
• Ensure the sacks are made wholly of abaca bast fibers and are not coated or laminated with plastics, which would shift classification to Chapter 39
• Declare the fiber composition accurately on the CBSA import documents
• Verify that the sacks are not considered 'made up' under Section XI Note 7, as this affects classification
