Import Tips
• Prepare invoices specifying 'oxford cloth (227)' to match statistical suffix and aid statistical reporting
• Test for denim misclassification; true denim requires 3/4-thread twill per subheading note, not basketweave
• Bundle with fiber content affidavits to preempt audits on >85% cotton claims
