Import Tips
• Document thread count at 218 ends/dm and picks/dm to justify .10 suffix; CBP often audits Oxford claims
• Label as 'of yarns of different colors' with colorfastness tests to prevent shift to plain dyed subheadings
• Avoid bulk packaging without retail intent to dodge potential reclass to greige fabrics in 5208.11
