Import Tips
• Test for rayon classification as man-made vs regenerated cellulose; improper ID shifts to different chapters
• Maintain selvage-free weave documentation; edges can disqualify printcloth status during inspection
• Track quota fill status for 615 category monthly via OTEXA to avoid entry refusals mid-season
