Import Tips
• Verify grammage between 150-225 g/m² via lab testing to confirm subheading; exceeding limits shifts to other weights
• Provide mill test certificates showing fiber composition and density to prove pressboard status and avoid reclassification
• Ensure no coatings or further processing; common pitfall is misdeclaring laminated versions which go to 4811
