Import Tips
• Verify fiber content lab reports showing >10% mechanical or chemi-mechanical fibers to qualify under this subheading
• Ensure roll width exceeds 15 cm and grammage <40 g/m² via certified measurements to prevent reclassification to heavier weights
• Provide end-use documentation for printing/graphic purposes; common pitfall is shipping in sheets, which may shift to 4802.62
