Import Tips
• Verify base width exceeds 40 cm and multi-ply construction to confirm 4819.30 classification; measure precisely to avoid reclassification
• Ensure documentation includes burst strength specs and ply details; common pitfall is mislabeling as grocery bags
• Obtain mill test certificates for paper weight and strength to comply with US Customs fiber content rules
