Import Tips
• Document end-use for tobacco packaging but classify based on form, not use; include purity certificates
• Avoid common pitfall of measuring total thickness with any temporary coating—exclude per HTS notes
• Declare exact gauge variations across rolls to prevent customs disputes on thickness limits
