Import Tips
• Confirm multi-ply construction via manufacturer specs; single-ply equivalents fall under different subheadings
• Test for kaolin content and absence of other coatings; retain certificates of analysis for CBP review
• Watch for reel width specs—under 15 cm shifts to narrower strip classification
