Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm 85%+ synthetic staple fibers, as blends under 85% shift to heading 5515
• Provide weave structure documentation (basketweave, not square construction) to justify Oxford classification during customs review
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling weight or yarn number, which could reclassify to poplin/broadcloth under statistical note (a)
