Baryta Coated Photographic Base Paper RC from Mexico
This is a baryta-coated paper in rolls, weighing under 150 g/m², designed as basic paper to be sensitized for analog photography prints. The baryta layer, typically barium sulfate on a resin-coated (RC) substrate, provides a smooth, reflective surface mimicking traditional darkroom paper. It falls under HTS 4810.13.11.20 due to its kaolin/inorganic coating, non-mechanical fiber content, and specific use in photographic sensitization.

Import Tips
• Verify baryta coating certification and weight under 150 g/m² via lab tests to confirm HTS 4810.13.11.20 classification
• Provide mill test reports proving ≤10% mechanical fibers and photographic sensitization intent to avoid reclassification
