Import Tips
• Document the paperboard content exceeding any plastic cover to confirm chapter 48 applicability
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as finished book covers (4820.90); specify as memo pad for 'other' subheading
• Obtain mill test certificates for paper composition if audited for fiber content
