Import Tips
• Document that printing is not the primary motif per Chapter note, subsidiary to wrapping function, preventing reclass to printed matter in Chapter 49
• Include basis weight tests; over 30 g/m² shifts to 4811.90.90
• Ensure sheets meet 'one side >36 cm, other >15 cm' or wide roll criteria
