📌 Proactive Advice for Importers:
- Verify Material Composition:
-
Ensure the packaging is purely paper-based (no leather or synthetic materials) to avoid misclassification under higher-tariff categories like 4202995000.
-
Check Unit Price and Material:
-
If the packaging includes any non-paper components (e.g., leather, plastic, or metal), re-classification may be required.
-
Certifications Required:
-
Confirm if any certifications (e.g., FSC, ISO, or environmental compliance) are needed for import into China.
-
Monitor Tariff Changes:
- Keep track of the April 11, 2025 deadline to avoid unexpected cost increases.
