Photographic Base Paper RC Glossy 35 g/m² from China

Uncoated resin-coated paper weighing 35 g/m², specifically designed as a base to be sensitized with light-sensitive emulsions for photographic printing.

Import Tips

Verify paper weight is under 40 g/m² and fiber content excludes mechanical/chemi-mechanical fibers >10% via lab testing for classification

Provide manufacturer specs confirming use as photographic base paper to avoid reclassification as general printing paper

Ensure documentation distinguishes from sensitized (finished) photo paper under Chapter 37 to prevent duty disputes
