Import Tips
• Specify roll width and length on entries; wide rolls (>36 inches) may trigger quota checks unrelated to HTS
• Confirm no pre-applied coatings via samples if requested; uncoated status keeps it in 4802
• Avoid bulk packaging declarations that suggest sack kraft; emphasize graphic ribbon use
