Import Tips & Compliance

Declare exact sheet dimensions unfolded and coating coverage to prevent shifts to smaller size subheadings like 4811.59.20

Include FDA compliance certs if for food contact, as PE coatings must meet indirect additive regs

Avoid common error of classifying as printed if surface decoration is minor; printing motifs trigger Chapter 49 if primary
