Import Tips
• 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
