Import Tips
• Verify fiber content certification to confirm ≤10% mechanical fibers via supplier affidavits or lab tests
• Ensure grammage documentation (weight certificates) matches >150 g/m² to avoid reclassification to lighter subheadings
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as coated paper, which shifts to Chapter 48 headings like 4810
