Import Tips
• Specify braid construction (woven vs. knit) in docs; braids may reference 5808 but formed tubing stays in 5909
• Avoid bulk packaging mislabeling as fabric rolls, which could shift to Chapter 54/55
• Test for bendability around 7mm cylinder to distinguish from rigid plastic per 5903 note (2)
