Import Tips & Compliance

Verify corrugated paperboard meets Chapter 48 definitions; test for flute profile to confirm not semichemical fluting under 4805.11

Include mill certificates showing fiber content to avoid disputes over 'other' classification versus sack kraft

Label boxes clearly if printed motifs are subsidiary; excessive printing shifts to Chapter 49 per chapter notes
