Import Tips

• Declare the complete set together to maintain 'news ink' classification; separate colors risk reclassification

• Provide press compatibility certification (e.g

• for Heidelberg or MAN presses) to support newsprint end-use

• Check for lead content restrictions; many news inks now use soy-based alternatives to meet environmental standards
