Import Tips
• Document embossing process and coating specs; customs may challenge if mistaken for uncoated under 4802
• Label clearly as 'printed/embossed' with fiber analysis to prevent shift to unprinted 4810.13.20
• Watch for weight exceeding paperboard limits; test for g/m² to stay in 'paper' not heavier categories
