Import Tips

• Verify the paper's silver halide emulsion and line reproduction specifications to confirm HTS 3703.90.30.90 classification; provide technical datasheets from manufacturer

• Ensure proper storage documentation showing unexposed condition to avoid reclassification as exposed or processed goods

• Check for hazardous material declarations due to light-sensitive chemicals; common pitfall is inadequate packaging leading to customs delays
