Import Tips

Include grammage certificates showing >150 g/m² to differentiate from lighter interlinings in 5603.13

Specify coating agent (e.g

non-plastic resins) in invoices to comply with 'other than plastics/rubber' requirement

Avoid bulk packaging that could imply industrial parts; retail-ready rolls prevent reclass to Chapter 59
