Import Tips
• Verify paperboard thickness with caliper measurements and include lab test certificates in documentation to confirm over 0.51 mm
• Provide printing process affidavits proving lithographic method, as alternative processes shift classification
• Avoid common pitfalls by distinguishing from thinner calendars under 4910.00.20.00; mismeasurement leads to duty adjustments
