Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify that the kaolin coating is the only coating; any plastic or wax coating for moisture resistance would change the classification to Chapter 39 or 48.14
• Ensure the sheets meet the dimensional requirements of note 8 to Chapter 48
• If the board is printed with food branding, confirm the printing is subsidiary to the packaging use
