Import Tips
• Provide mill certificates confirming mechanical fiber content >10% and uncoated status to avoid reclassification
• Measure unfolded sheets accurately; exceeding 435x297 mm limits shifts to larger sheet subheadings
• Label as 'drawing paper for graphic purposes' to distinguish from office paper; watch for printing motifs pushing to Chapter 49
