Import Tips
• Obtain ISO certifications for paper quality to support 'graphic purposes' claim during entry
• Declare as 'basic paper' not final product to avoid Chapter 49 if any minimal printing exists
• Monitor for binder content in coating, as excessive organics could disqualify from pure inorganic HTS definition
