Import Tips
• Verify fiber content certification to confirm <10% mechanical fibers, as exceeding this shifts to 4802.54
• Provide mill test reports proving grammage (40-150 g/m²) and width >15 cm to avoid reclassification
• Ensure no perforations or printing, as these may fall under Chapter 48 exclusions or heading 4820
