REMOVING THE STAMPED MARKINGS FROM QUILTS MADE FROM KITS. The commonest question I receive, apart from requests for copies of instruction sheets is from quiltmakers who have become concerned that the printed lines and quilting guides on their quilts made from kits arenât going to wash away completely.
Tariff Classification Numbers are based on the World Customs Organizationâs (âWCOâ) International Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, Can. T.S. 1988 No. 38. Canada is a signatory to this Convention.
Effective April 1, 1997, New Brunswick harmonized its Provincial Sales Tax with the federal Goods and Services Tax to create a harmonized sales tax (HST). The HST is a value-added tax and is composed of the federal GST ( 5% ) and a provincial component of 10%. The HST is applied to the same base of goods and services as the federal GST base. This means the 15% HST is applied to all goods and services taxable under the federal Excise Tax Act. Other participating provinces include Newfoundland and Labrador, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia. The HST is administered by the federal government through the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).
