Import Tips

• Verify grammage does not exceed 15 g/m² with lab testing to confirm eligibility and prevent reclassification to higher-duty subheadings

• Provide coating composition documentation, as surface treatment must be integral, not mere printing which shifts to Chapter 49

• Ensure rolls exceed 15 cm width or sheets meet size criteria; smaller formats fall under different provisions
