Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the paper is truly uncoated and unsensitized at the time of import; if it has been coated with plastics or sensitized, it may fall under another heading
• Keep supplier documentation showing fibre composition (less than 10% mechanical) to support classification
• Verify the roll width exceeds 36 cm to meet the legal note 8 requirements for headings 48.03–48.09, though 4802 is not subject to that note
