Import Tips

• Verify dielectric strength certification and exact grammage (<150 g/m²) via lab testing to confirm classification as condenser paper

• Provide manufacturer specs proving electrical insulation purpose; misclassification as generic kraft risks re-assessment

• Ensure roll or sheet format; pre-cut sheets may shift to heading 4820 if not qualifying as paper in bulk
