Import Tips
• Verify coating is solely kaolin or inorganic substances; organic coatings shift to Chapter 48 other headings
• Provide mill test certificates confirming basis weight, coating type, and absence of plastic binders
• Ensure roll width exceeds 15 cm in documentation to avoid reclassification to narrower strip subheadings
