Import Tips

Verify coating weight does not exceed 15 g/m² per side and total weight ≤72 g/m² to qualify under 4810.22

Provide mill test certificates confirming mechanical fiber content >10% and kaolin/inorganic coating only

Avoid misclassification as uncoated paper (4802) by documenting no other coatings beyond kaolin/binder
