Import Tips

Verify baryta (barium sulfate) coating and weight ≤150 g/m² via lab testing; provide mill test certificates for Customs

Confirm sheet dimensions qualify (one side >360 mm, other >150 mm, max 435x297 mm unfolded) to avoid reclassification

Avoid common pitfall of printing motifs that dominate use, which shifts to Chapter 49; keep paper unsensitized and unprinted
