Import Tips

Document embossing process and coating specs; CBP may require cross-sections to verify no other coatings beyond kaolin

Label rolls/sheets clearly as 'lightweight coated for inkjet' to prevent confusion with uncoated media

Test for mechanical fiber percentage; blends near 10% threshold need precise analysis to avoid reclassification
