Import Tips
• Ensure the paperboard is uniformly bleached with over 95% chemical fibres and exceeds 150 g/m² to qualify for 4810.32.00
• Provide a certificate of analysis or mill specification sheet to the CBSA to confirm fibre content and basis weight
• Verify that the sheets are not printed with motifs or characters beyond subsidiary decoration, as that would shift classification to Chapter 49
