Import Tips
• Document weave type (basket vs plain) with photos or technical specs to distinguish oxford from statistical note exclusions
• Check for square construction; if not, it may qualify as poplin but oxford specificity prevails here
• Avoid bulk packaging without retail intent to prevent reclassification as industrial fabric
