Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify composition to ensure at least one layer is straw paper via lab testing for fiber content to avoid reclassification

• Provide mill certificates confirming no surface coating or impregnation to meet 'not surface-coated' requirements

• Check for internal reinforcement; if present, ensure it's not dominant to stay in this subheading
