Import Tips
• Provide lab analysis for weave type; pinpoint oxford must meet 'other fabrics' oxford criteria excluding denim
• Check for quantitative restrictions if raw cotton source countries apply upstream
• Avoid misdeclaration of weight; measure Z' (g/m²) post-boiling to confirm under 200 g/m²
