Import Tips
• Specify grammage and fiber content on invoices to confirm paperboard status (typically >150 g/m²)
• Ensure folders are tabbed or plain but not pre-printed with dominant motifs, avoiding chapter 49
• Package for retail to distinguish from bulk industrial packs that might classify differently
