Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight exceeds 170 g/m² and basketweave structure to confirm oxford classification per statistical notes
• Provide mill test certificates for fiber content to prove artificial staple fibers over 85%
• Ensure printing is on one or both sides; incomplete printing may shift to unprinted subheading
