Import Tips
• Test for exact fiber ratio; small synthetic excess (>85%) shifts to 5515 or 5516 pure synthetic headings
• Mark as 'oxford cloth' with technical specs; CBP rejects vague 'shirt fabric' without weave proof
• Separate rolls from garments; cut pieces risk 62-chapter apparel classification
