Import Tips
• Verify coating weight ≤15 g/m² per side and total ≤72 g/m² via lab testing to confirm light-weight classification
• Provide mill test certificates showing >10% mechanical/chemi-mechanical fibers and no organic binders
• Avoid misclassification as uncoated by documenting kaolin/inorganic substance application
