Import Tips
• Declare exact plastic coverage method (lamination vs. extrusion) and test for adhesive exclusion to stay in 4811.51
• Use commercial invoices specifying 'base stock, not converted' to prevent shifts to finished goods headings
• Watch for over-declaring print motifs; substantial printing moves to Chapter 49 per chapter notes
