Import Tips
• Verify base width measures at least 40 cm when flat to confirm classification under 4819.30.00; smaller bases shift to 4819.40
• Provide mill test certificates showing paper composition to avoid misclassification as plastic-laminated goods under Chapter 39
• Ensure bags are imported in bulk rolls or flat packs, not pre-filled, to prevent duties under retail packaging rules
