Import Tips
• Conduct fiber analysis if contested; chemical pulp verification prevents shift to mechanical categories
• Avoid packaging as finished articles, which could invoke Chapter 48 exclusions for 4820 or 49
• Include brightness and opacity specs in docs for quality assurance during customs review
