Import Tips
• Ensure the paper is uncoated and that the fibre content exceeds 10% mechanical or chemi-mechanical pulp; keep mill certificates or lab reports as evidence
• Declare the exact sheet dimensions and weight (g/m²) to confirm it qualifies as 'other' paper rather than a more specific heading
• If the paper is cut to a size where one side is 43 cm or less and the other 56 cm or less, it may be considered 'converted' and fall outside this heading
