Import Tips
• Confirm the paper has no surface coating (e.g
• baryta or polyethylene) at import; if coated, classification may shift to heading 4811
• Maintain records of the fibre source and mechanical pulp percentage to justify the subheading
• Check whether the rolls exceed 36 cm in width, as required for certain chapter 48 headings, though 4802 is exempt from note 8
