Import Tips
• Certify kraft paper fiber content (80% sulfate if applicable) per subheading notes to validate classification
• Declare clasp as metal component separately for accurate duty calculation on mixed materials
• Avoid overstating reusability claims that could trigger classification as boxes under 4817.30
