Import Tips

• Verify thickness with caliper measurements and plastic coating type via lab analysis to confirm 0.3 mm+ and non-adhesive coverage

• Provide mill test certificates showing bleached pulp content >150 g/m² and grammage to avoid misclassification as thinner stock

• Ensure no printing dominates the primary use, or it shifts to Chapter 49; declare exact dimensions to meet 'large sheet/roll' criteria
