Import Tips
• Test and document Mullen burst or coating specs to distinguish from general coated paper in other headings
• Use invoices specifying 'simplex transfer paper for decals' to avoid scrutiny under printed paper rules
• Avoid importing pre-printed versions if motifs are primary; blank paper stays in 4809
