Import Tips
• Verify chemical coating meets self-copy definition via lab tests; misclassification as plain paper risks penalties
• Provide supplier specs on micro-encapsulation and burst strength to confirm 'other self-copy' status
• Label clearly as self-copy to avoid scrutiny under heading 4811 for coated paper
