Import Tips
• Document yarn number ≤26 and weight >200 g/m² to justify 'other' vs broadcloth exclusion
• For industrial end-use, include buyer contracts; consumer packaging may trigger retail duties
• Test for multiple/cabled yarns; presence could align with excluded sheeting types under note (c)(ii)
