Import Tips
• Include detailed specs on fiber composition and coating type (kaolin only, no binders exceeding limits) in entry documentation
• Test for Mullen burst or basis weight if challenged; ensure punches meet 'perforated' definition for looseleaf
• Label clearly as 'hole-punched' to prevent reclassification as bulk uncoated paper stock
