Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide grammage certificates to prove <40 g/m²; common pitfall is incorrect weighing documentation

• Label as 'for printing/graphic purposes' to avoid reclassification to packaging papers

• Ensure sheets meet size criteria (>36 cm x >15 cm unfolded) with photos or specs
