Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the rolls are over 36 cm wide to stay in heading 48.11
• Provide a product data sheet showing the gummed adhesive is water-activated, not pressure-sensitive, as this may affect classification
• Verify the paper is not coated with plastics exceeding half the thickness, which would shift it to Chapter 39
