Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify embossing meets the definition by providing mill test reports confirming texture from mechanical embossing process
• Ensure product is not printed with primary motifs, as that would shift to Chapter 49; provide unprinted samples if challenged
• Declare exact weight per m² and dimensions to avoid misclassification into weight-based subheadings
