Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab test to confirm <85% cotton as mislabeling leads to reclassification
• Include weave structure certification showing basketweave for oxford and yarn number calculation per US notes
• Ensure print is considered 'printed' post-weaving to avoid plain weave subheadings
