Import Tips
• Verify basis weight documentation (over 30 g/m² but ≤150 g/m²) as it determines subheading placement
• Provide mill test certificates confirming uncoated status and lack of further processing per note 3
• Avoid misclassification as sack kraft (4804.21) by confirming it doesn't meet Mullen burst index specs
