Import Tips
• Submit drying/setting time specifications proving coldset properties exclusive to newsprint applications
• Ensure no fluorescent additives, as those shift classification away from standard black news inks
• Document newsprint rub-off tests; poor performance could lead Customs to question 'news' designation
