Import Tips
• Ensure product is imported in rolls or sheets only if qualifying under paper headings; finished folders stay in 4820
• Label with accurate dimensions and weight to meet US Customs paperboard verification
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as 'manifold forms' which fall under different subheadings
