Import Tips & Compliance

Printing must be subsidiary; if motifs dominate use, reclassify to Chapter 49 per chapter note

Document inorganic coating type (kaolin) and ply layers; photometric analysis helps prove composition

Ensure rolls are uncut sheets >15 cm wide to avoid 4820 exclusion for cut-to-size items
