Import Tips
• Declare exact ply count and coating types (CB/CF) in entry docs to support self-copy writing paper status
• Avoid bulk rolls over 15 inches wide, as they may classify under other duplicator papers in 4809.20.40
• Test for compliance with US safety standards on chemical coatings to prevent FDA or EPA scrutiny
