Import Tips
• Verify exact yarn counts and weight exceed 170 g/m² to confirm oxford exclusion from broadcloth per statistical note (a)
• Provide lab test reports on fiber composition (polyester >50%, viscose mix) for CBP verification
• Avoid misclassification as printcloth by ensuring not square construction with 43-68 yarn numbers
