Import Tips

• Verify sheet dimensions and basis weight certification to confirm compliance with 4802.56.20.00 specs; common pitfall is misclassifying as printing paper

• Provide mill test reports proving ≤10% mechanical fibers to avoid reclassification under other subheadings

• Label as 'drawing paper' with graphic end-use declaration on entry documents for CBP review
