Import Tips

• Verify fiber content lab tests to confirm ≤10% mechanical fibers; retain certificates for CBP review

• Measure sheet dimensions precisely in unfolded state to match 435x297 mm max with specified excesses

• Avoid common pitfall of misclassifying as uncoated paper (4802); ensure kaolin coating documentation
