Import Tips
• 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
