Import Tips & Compliance

Verify grammage certification from manufacturer showing 15-30 g/m² to avoid reclassification to lighter or heavier subheadings

Provide lab tests confirming coating type (e.g

silicone) as 'coated' under Chapter 48, not printed motifs dominant per Chapter notes

Declare roll width >15 cm accurately; narrow rolls shift to other subheadings
