Import Tips
• Verify coating type and weight; must be plastic (e.g
• PE) excluding adhesives to qualify under 4811
• Provide mill test certificates confirming basis weight >150 g/m², thickness ≥0.3 mm, and bleached fiber content
• Avoid classifying as finished articles (heading 4823); ensure imported as base stock, not pre-formed trays
