Import Tips
• Verify coating is solely kaolin or inorganic substances with no other coatings via lab testing to confirm classification
• Provide manufacturer specs confirming weight ≤150 g/m² and intended use for photographic sensitization in entry docs
• Avoid misclassification as printed paper (Ch. 49) by ensuring no motifs exceed subsidiary use
