Import Tips & Compliance

Include dielectric test reports showing tan delta <0.005 at 1kHz to substantiate condenser classification during customs review

Avoid common error of declaring in bulk packs as 'articles'—must be rolls/sheets per chapter note 3

Label with exact grammage and confirm ≥80% wood fiber content if sulfate process to align with related notes
