Import Tips
• Verify coating weight does not exceed 15 g/m² per side and total basis weight ≤72 g/m² to confirm 4810.22 classification
• Provide lab test reports proving >10% mechanical/chemi-mechanical fiber content and suitability for photographic sensitization
• Avoid misclassification as uncoated paper (4802) by documenting kaolin/inorganic coating presence
