Import Tips
• Verify coating type and basis weight via lab testing to confirm >30 g/m² and avoid reclassification to lighter subheadings
• Provide mill test certificates showing fiber content and coating specs to demonstrate compliance with Chapter 48 notes
• Ensure rolls exceed 15 cm width; narrower strips may shift to 4811.90.40, triggering different duties
