Import Tips

• Include commercial invoice specifying 'Oxford cloth' and measured yarn number to match statistical suffix 227

• Test for cotton purity; blends under 85% shift to Chapter 52 headings 5210-5212

• Check for certification if hand-loomed, as 5208 certified hand-loomed has different provisions
