Import Tips
• Verify product meets 'cut to size or shape' criteria; rolls over 36 cm width fall under different headings
• Provide lab tests confirming absorbency and fiber content to avoid misclassification as printed paper (Chapter 49)
• Label clearly as facial tissues to distinguish from toilet paper in 4818.10
