Import Tips
• Verify the paper is unexposed and sensitized with silver halide; provide technical specs from manufacturer to confirm classification
• Ensure sheets are cut to size under 28.0 cm x 40.6 cm if applicable; declare exact dimensions to avoid reclassification
• Include darkroom certification if claiming pictorial use; common pitfall is misdeclaring as graphic arts paper
