Import Tips
• Document exact grammage and dimensions to confirm ≤150 g/m² and >15 cm width for correct subheading placement
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'photographic paper' prematurely; specify as 'basic paper to be sensitized' if applicable
• Include supplier specs on inorganic coating composition to comply with HTS definition and prevent audits
