Import Tips
• Confirm corrugation depth and plastic lamination doesn't qualify as 'articles' under 4819
• Lab certify fiber content <65% unbleached hardwood to avoid 4805.11 semichemical classification
• Document roll specs precisely; pitfall is confusing with uncoated fluting leading to 4805 reclass
