Import Tips
• Verify fiber content documentation showing >10% mechanical/chemi-mechanical fibers to confirm subheading 4802.61
• Ensure roll width exceeds 15 cm and provide grammage certificates; common pitfall is classifying sheets under 4820
• Test for supercalendered finish (smoothness > Bekk 800s) to avoid reclassification to standard wood-containing paper
