Import Tips
• Verify grammage with lab testing as weights near 15 g/m² may shift classification to higher subheadings
• Provide mill certificates confirming uncoated status and no further processing per chapter note 3
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as printed tissue, which moves to chapter 49
