Import Tips
• Verify sheet dimensions do not exceed 435 mm x 297 mm and confirm >10% mechanical/chemi-mechanical fibers via mill certificates to avoid reclassification
• Provide lab test reports proving it's unsensitized base paper; sensitized emulsions shift to Chapter 37
• Ensure no pre-coating or printing that could invoke Chapter 49 notes on graphic motifs
