Import Tips

Verify uniform bleaching and exact fiber content (>95% chemical process) via lab certification to avoid reclassification to lower headings

Measure grammage precisely as >225 g/m²; provide Mullen burst test results if claiming kraftliner status for potential duty differences

Ensure documentation shows uncoated status and not for printing (Chapter 49) or converted articles (Chapter 48 headings 4814+)
