Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'one-side coated' with grammage certification to prevent confusion with two-side products
• Test for mechanical fiber content; exceeding 10% requires reclassification to lower-duty subheadings
• Ensure rolls or sheets are not pre-printed with dominant motifs, avoiding Chapter 49 shift
