Import Tips
• Classify by end use only after confirming weave; drapery often risks Chapter 59 if textured finishes applied
• Provide unbleached affidavits; bleaching can be minimal but must be documented vs. raw state
• Watch for set sales with trims—individual fabric stays 5309 but sets may go to 6307
