Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the sheets are rectangular with one side exceeding 36 cm and the other exceeding 15 cm to meet heading 48.11 size requirements
• Since the paper is wax-impregnated, ensure it is not also coated with plastics, which would shift classification to chapter 39
• Check if the wax is petroleum-based, as this may affect import documentation
