Import Tips
• Verify wax coating type (paraffin vs. others) and weight to confirm HTS 4811 classification; misdeclaration risks reclassification
• Provide lab test reports showing coating composition and basis weight; declare roll width precisely in entry docs
• Avoid common pitfall of shipping in sheets under size limits—ensure rolls exceed 15 cm width or sheets meet both dimensions
