Import Tips
• Distinguish decorative prints from 'motifs not subsidiary' (Chapter 49) via use certificates showing further printing intent
• Lab-verify basis weight and coating; exceeding limits shifts to 4810.19
• Package in protective rolls to prevent damage that could alter weight/specs during import
