Import Tips
• Request lab analysis or supplier declaration on fiber content to prove compliance with the 10% mechanical fiber limit
• Ensure documentation specifies 'basic paper to be sensitized' to distinguish from finished photographic products
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling roll width; measure precisely as sheets may fall under different subheadings
