Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% synthetic staple fibers mixed mainly with cotton, as misdeclaration shifts to other subheadings
• Provide weave analysis and weight certificates (under 170 g/m²) to customs for oxford classification; common pitfall is confusing with poplin
• Ensure statistical note compliance for oxford (not square construction like broadcloth) to avoid reclassification
