Import Tips
• Include photos or weave diagrams in entry docs to confirm oxford basketweave vs plain or twill misclassification
• For apparel end-use, pre-verify flammability standards compliance to avoid holds on printed fabrics
• Track quota applicability if cotton staple origin triggers US notes, though woven finished goods typically exempt
