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
