Import Tips & Compliance

Verify fiber content exceeds 10% mechanical/chemi-mechanical via lab testing to confirm subheading 4802.62 classification

Provide mill certificates showing uncoated status and exact sheet dimensions to avoid reclassification to 4802.54 or 4802.55

Ensure sheets are not perforated or punched, as that shifts to other subheadings; common pitfall is edge perforations
