Import Tips
• Prove printing is subsidiary to packaging function via end-use affidavits to prevent Chapter 49 shift
• Test basis weight and burst strength; if meeting kraftliner specs (>115 g/m², high Mullen), reclassify to 4804.11
• Include commercial invoices specifying roll dimensions and print coverage percentage
