Import Tips
• Include bleaching certification and weight specs (>170 g/m², average yarn >26) to meet Oxford exclusion from poplin/broadcloth
• Label rolls clearly with HTS code and fiber content to prevent inspection delays
• Watch for contamination with filament yarns, which could shift classification to Chapter 54
