Import Tips & Compliance

• Label as 'kraft paperboard' with exact basis weight; discrepancies can lead to duty adjustments or penalties

• Include pulp origin certification to distinguish from non-kraft mechanical pulps in other chapters

• Avoid printing motifs as primary feature, or it shifts to Chapter 49
