Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'folding carton stock uncoated base' to distinguish from finished printed boxes in Chapter 49
• Test for Mullen burst strength if borderliners; ensure no confusion with kraftliner specs in 4804
• Use FDA-compliant declarations for food-contact grades to expedite clearance
