Import Tips & Compliance

Verify fiber content certification to confirm no more than 10% mechanical/chemi-mechanical fibers via mill test reports to avoid reclassification

Ensure sheets meet size specs (one side >36 cm, other >15 cm) with precise measurements documented for customs

Label as 'writing and cover paper' and provide grammage test results (>150 g/m²) to prevent shifts to lighter paper subheadings
