Import Tips
• Submit lab tests confirming supercalendered properties and mechanical fiber ratio to Customs for smooth clearance
• Declare exact width and weight; pitfall is undervaluing as lower-grade paper leading to audits
• Avoid perforations or punching, as non-perforated punch-card paper exclusion applies only to specific types
