Import Tips
• Verify basis weight certification (≤29 g/m²) via lab testing to meet HTS 4811.90.60.10 specs; exceeding 29 g/m² shifts to other subheadings
• Provide mill test reports confirming tissue paper composition and no printing as primary feature to avoid Chapter 49 reclassification
• Ensure sheets meet size requirements (>36 cm x >15 cm unfolded) and declare as 'in sheets' not rolls to prevent misclassification
