Import Tips
• Verify coating composition and weight via lab tests to confirm classification under 4811, avoiding reclassification to 4810 for lightweight coated paper
• Include FDA compliance certificates for food-contact PE coatings to prevent holds at customs
• Declare grammage accurately as weights over 72 g/m² exclude from 4810 subheadings
