Import Tips
• Include food-contact compliance docs (e.g
• FDA indirect approval) as common for butcher paper to avoid holds
• Document exact grammage and uncoated status; over 150 g/m² shifts to 4804.41+ subheadings
• Avoid perforations/embossing that might invoke 4823 if resembling lace or Jacquard cards
