Import Tips
• Verify supplier certification that paper is unsensitized and intended solely for photographic use to avoid reclassification; provide lab tests confirming no pre-applied emulsions
• Ensure roll dimensions comply with 'in rolls' criteria and include end-use declarations
• Common pitfall: mislabeling as sensitized paper shifts to Chapter 37
