Import Tips
• Verify fiber content to ensure less than 10% mechanical fibers via lab testing for accurate classification
• Provide mill certificates confirming weight (40-150 g/m²) and roll width exceeding 15 cm to avoid reclassification
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as narrower rolls, which shifts to other subheadings
