Customs reclassification of mixed-fibre polyester warp knitted fabrics requires Revenue to establish, through cogent technical evidence, that the declared residual classification is incorrect. Fibre composition and textile construction under Chapter 60 cannot be determined solely from commercial documents, visual examination, or a generic polyester description. Where samples, laboratory reports, and evidence of misdeclaration or suppression are absent, an accepted self-assessment cannot be reopened or replaced with multiple alternative tariff entries.
