Import Tips
• Document bleaching process (chlorine/peroxide) separately from dyeing to maintain 5309.11 classification
• For heavyweight fabrics, provide grammage certificates; common error is assuming all canvas goes to 5907 coated textiles
• Ensure no cabled yarns used, as statistical note (c)(ii)(A) excludes such from sheeting but impacts 'other' proof
