Import Tips
• Label products clearly as 'folders' on packaging to distinguish from cartons under 4819.10
• Provide grammage certificates for paperboard (typically >250 g/m²) to confirm it's paperboard, not paper
• Avoid importing with extensive printing; dominant motifs shift to Chapter 49 printed matter
