Import Tips
• Document basis weight under 60 g/m² and uncoated surface to distinguish from coated papers in 4810
• Avoid printing motifs as primary feature, which would move to Chapter 49 per chapter notes
• Confirm roll-to-sheet conversion doesn't add perforations, excluding it from punch tape provisions
