Import Tips
• Verify self-copy functionality through lab testing to confirm classification; ordinary writing paper shifts to HTS 4802
• Provide detailed chemical composition of microcapsules to avoid reclassification as printed paper under Chapter 49
• Ensure sheets are not pre-printed with dominant motifs, as that would exclude from heading 4809 per chapter notes
