Import Tips
• Document embossing process and measure depth to distinguish from mere printing under subheading criteria
• Label fiber content accurately; mechanical >10% keeps it in this subheading, avoid bleached chemical pulp dominance
• Check for retail packaging; if cut to size and sold retail, ensure not reclassified under 4811 or 4823
