Import Tips
• Label fiber composition accurately on invoices; viscose blends require precise percentage declarations to avoid reclassification
• Include weave structure photos or specs confirming oxford basketweave to match statistical note (227) criteria
• Check for uniform dyeing; uneven color can lead to disputes over 'dyed' subheading applicability
