Import Tips
• Provide printing suitability certificates to confirm graphic purpose and avoid misclassification as packaging paper
• Test for single/both-side coating uniformity; inconsistencies can lead to disputes under subheading requirements
• Watch for surface printing that dominates use—could shift to Chapter 49 if motifs are primary
