Import Tips
• Document weave certification (twill/satin) as statistical note 617 applies; plain weaves go elsewhere
• Check for square construction; if qualifying as 'sheeting', may challenge under chapter notes but twill exempts
• Avoid bundling with finished goods; classify as greige fabric, not upholstery panels
