Holiday Foil Gift Wrap Roll from Japan
This is a bleached kraft paper roll coated on one side with kaolin and featuring metallic foil stamping for a festive holiday look, weighing 60 g/m². It qualifies under HTS 4810.31.10.50 as gift wrap because it is surface-decorated bleached kraft paper in rolls wider than 15 cm, with over 95% chemical wood fibers, specifically designated for gift wrapping purposes. The kaolin coating enhances printability and shine without other coatings.

Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 95% chemical process wood fibers via lab testing to confirm bleached kraft classification and avoid reclassification
• Provide mill test certificates showing weight ≤150 g/m² and kaolin-only coating; declare as 'gift wrap' explicitly on entry documents
• Watch for over-declaration of decorations that could shift to Chapter 49 if motifs are primary rather than subsidiary to wrapping use
