Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This by-law gives importers a tariff concession on certain synthetic woven and coated fabrics—nylons, polyesters and similar—but only when those fabrics are used exclusively to make or repair hot‑air balloon envelopes, parachute canopies, or boat/windcraft sails. It lowers or removes customs duty for manufacturers and operators in aviation safety, sailing, and balloon tourism; it doesn’t apply to general apparel or household textile imports.
