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)
