Import Tips
• Verify sheet dimensions do not exceed 435 mm x 297 mm unfolded and confirm kaolin coating with lab tests if requested by CBP
• Provide mill certificates proving fiber content has ≤10% mechanical fibers to avoid reclassification
• Label packages clearly with dimensions, weight, and 'coated printing paper' to prevent inspection delays
