## Overlaps & pitfalls
A sachet could be both paper-based and reusable if coated or laminated—this may blur 4818.30 and 6302.40. Similarly, textile sachets with paper inserts may confuse classification. **No option is inherently prioritized**; choose based on the product’s MAIN material and function (e.g., single-use vs. reusable)
