Import Tips
• Document basis weight and ply count to confirm paperboard status, avoiding confusion with single-ply paper
• Test for exclusive kaolin/inorganic coating; binders allowed but no plastic or other coatings
• Check for surface color/decoration that isn't dominant printing to stay out of Chapter 49
