- Action Required: Monitor the import timeline and consider early clearance or adjusting the product classification if possible.
📋 Key Compliance Considerations
- Material Verification:
Ensure the paper is uncoated and used for writing, printing, or graphic purposes. -
If the paper is coated, it may fall under a different HS code (e.g., 4802.59).
-
Unit Price and Certification:
- Verify the unit price to determine if it triggers any anti-dumping or countervailing duties (though unlikely for paper).
-
Confirm if certifications (e.g., environmental, safety, or quality) are required for import into the destination country.
-
HS Code Selection:
- The correct HS code depends on paper weight, coating, and intended use.
- For example, 4802586040 applies to heavier paper (>150g/m²), while 4802561000 is for lighter, uncoated paper.
✅ Proactive Advice for Importers
- Double-check the paper specifications (weight, coating, use) to ensure correct HS code classification.
- Plan import timelines to avoid the April 11, 2025 tariff increase if possible.
- Consult with a customs broker or tax authority for the most up-to-date and region-specific tariff information.
