Import Tips
• Obtain FDA certification for food contact if destined for packaging; non-compliant shipments face detention
• Document exact thickness measurement method (caliper) as ≥0.3 mm is critical for this subheading
• Avoid printing dominant motifs, which could reclassify to Chapter 49 if not subsidiary to paper use
