Import Tips

• Verify coating is solely kaolin or inorganic substances with no other coatings via lab analysis to avoid reclassification

• Ensure documentation proves fiber content has ≤10% mechanical fibers through pulp composition certificates

• Declare exact grammage (≤150 g/m²) accurately; common pitfall is mismeasurement leading to higher-duty categories
