Import Tips
• Document ply count (minimum 2 plies) and inorganic coating composition to prevent misclassification as 4810.91
• Include grammage certificates (>150 g/m² typical) as CBP often challenges lightweight multi-ply claims
• Avoid printing motifs that dominate use, which would shift to Chapter 49 per chapter notes
