Import Tips
• Verify basis weight certification ≤29 g/m² via lab testing to avoid reclassification to higher-weight subheadings
• Provide mill test reports confirming tissue paper composition and any surface treatments like embossing or coloring
• Ensure sheets are rectangular and cut-to-size, not rolls, to match 'in sheets' requirement; watch for Chapter 4820 exclusion on loose sheets
