If containing >10% mechanical or chemi-mechanical fibers
Paper with higher mechanical fiber content for similar graphic uses falls outside the low-fiber restriction into 4810.19.
If weighing over 150 g/m²
Heavier kaolin-coated graphic paper in same sheet size goes to subheadings for >150 g/m² stock.
If cut to precise photographic card sizes with perforations

Import Tips & Compliance
• Label shipments clearly as 'unsensitized base paper' to prevent Customs confusing with finished photo paper under Chapter 37
• Test and document Mullen burst or basis weight if challenged, as weight >150 g/m² shifts to other 4810.14 subheads
• Avoid mixing with coated inkjet paper; graphic purpose but photo-specific use locks this subheading
