Cork-Tipped Cigarette Paper Rolls from China
Narrow rolls of specialized paper, typically 1-5 cm wide, designed specifically for rolling cigarettes with an attached cork-style filter tip simulation. This falls under HTS 4813.20.00.00 as cigarette paper in rolls not exceeding 5 cm width, used directly in tobacco product manufacturing. The paper is highly porous to allow proper burning and draw.

Import Tips
• Verify roll width does not exceed 5 cm with precise measurements to avoid reclassification to wider roll subheadings
• Provide certificates confirming the paper's porosity and composition suitable only for cigarette use, as general purpose paper falls elsewhere
• Comply with FDA tobacco product regulations and ensure no printing that could shift to Chapter 49
