Import Tips & Compliance

Verify fiber content certification to confirm less than 10% mechanical/chemi-mechanical fibers, as exceeding this shifts to 4802.56

Provide mill test certificates showing grammage between 40-150 g/m² to avoid reclassification to lighter (4802.55) or heavier stocks

Ensure documentation specifies 'writing/cover' end-use to distinguish from packaging papers under Chapter 48 headings like 4804
