Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm ≤10% mechanical fibers, as required for this subheading
• Ensure grammage certification between 40-150 g/m²; provide mill test reports to avoid reclassification
• Label as 'writing paper' if marketed for graphic purposes; avoid printing motifs that could shift to Chapter 49
