Import Tips & Compliance

Verify fiber content lab tests to confirm >10% mechanical/chemi-mechanical fibers for accurate classification

Ensure sheets measure ≤435 mm x ≤297 mm unfolded; larger sizes shift to 4802.62 other subheadings

Provide mill certificates showing uncoated status and non-4801/4803 pulp origin to avoid misclassification
