Import Tips & Compliance

Provide weave analysis showing square construction but deviation from note (c)(i) specs like yarn number >68

Include dyeing/process records; finished dyed sheets risk principal use shift to apparel headings

Watch for bulk vs retail packaging; retail-ready shifts duty but stays in 5309 if weave qualifies
