Import Tips
• Verify pulp composition via mill certificates to confirm <80% chemical sulfate pulp for accurate classification
• Ensure grammage certification as product must exceed 225 g/m²; common pitfall is mismeasurement leading to reclassification
• Declare as 'not further worked' – any printing pushes to Chapter 49
