Import Tips
• Classify the paper as self-copy only if the coating is specifically for pressure-sensitive copying; other coatings may lead to different headings
• Keep records of the fibre composition and coating weights to support the classification
• If the paper is pre-printed with business forms, assess whether the printing is subsidiary to the self-copy function to avoid Chapter 49
