Import Tips
• Verify sheet dimensions exceed 36 cm x 15 cm unfolded to avoid reclassification to narrower strips
• Provide lab tests confirming weight ≤15 g/m² and tissue paper characteristics to prevent disputes
• Ensure no predominant printed motifs, as that shifts to Chapter 49 per chapter notes
