Verify fabric weight exceeds 200 g/m² and calculate average yarn number per US Note (a) using lab testing to confirm 314 classification

Provide bleaching process documentation and ensure no excessive sizing remains, as per US note measurement standards

Avoid misclassification as lighter fabrics under 5209; include mill test certificates for weight and weave
