Import Tips
• Conduct fiber content analysis to prove ≥85% synthetic staple fibers; blends near threshold often face scrutiny
• Include detailed weave diagrams in entry docs to confirm oxford (basketweave) vs. plain weave exclusions
• Label accurately to prevent downgauging to 5515 for lower synthetic content fabrics
