Import Tips
• Certify paper is uncoated and breathable to distinguish from plastic alternatives and maintain Chapter 48 status
• Document end-use as agricultural packing to counter potential shifts to retail if handles added
• Avoid common pitfall of importing filled bags; empty sacks only to stay in packing containers heading
