Import Tips

Submit grammage certificates from accredited labs; variations >5% can lead to duty recalculation or reclass

Avoid packing in retail-ready cuts – ship in bulk sheets/rolls to maintain 'paperboard' not 'articles' status

Declare end-use as 'graphic purposes' explicitly; industrial uses might prompt review for 4823 classification
