Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the PE coating weight and total thickness to ensure the plastic does not exceed half the total thickness, which would shift classification to Chapter 39
• The roll width must exceed 36 cm to satisfy chapter note 8 if the paper also matches a description in headings 48.03 to 48.09
• Keep the base paper's sack kraft specifications (Mullen burst, stretch factor) on file in case CBSA requests them
