Import Tips
• For food-contact uses, include FDA compliance certificates despite paper classification
• Confirm exact sheet sizes exceed 36 cm x 15 cm to prevent shift to narrower strip subheadings
• Test for moisture content; high humidity can alter grammage during transit, triggering CBP re-weigh
