Import Tips
• Include end-use statements from buyers confirming use in milk carton production to support statistical classification
• Test for Mullen burst strength to demonstrate beverage container suitability per kraft paper standards
• Avoid common pitfall of shipping in sheets cut to size, which may redirect to heading 4823 if not rolls
