Import Tips
• Verify printing is not the primary motif (e.g
• avoid book-like designs) to stay in 4821; otherwise, it shifts to Chapter 49
• Include lab tests confirming adhesive backing qualifies as 'labels' vs plain printed paper
• Declare accurate paper weight and ink composition to prevent reclassification during customs exam
