Import Tips
• Submit printing trial samples or technical data sheets proving newsprint-grade performance
• Declare exact roll dimensions accurately to avoid disputes over 'other' vs specific width categories
• Avoid mixing with supercalendered paper in same shipment; different classifications apply
