Import Tips
• Include lab analysis proving uniform bleaching and chemical fiber dominance; pitfalls include contamination claims shifting to multi-ply headings
• Specify sheet vs roll format in docs, as both qualify but ensure no printing that could invoke Chapter 49
• Check for ash content and basis weight tolerances to prevent duty adjustments
