Import Tips
• Test for coating type—only kaolin or inorganic substances allowed, no organic binders dominating
• Document surface treatments as 'surface-colored' if applicable, but ensure no disqualifying prints
• Watch for overclassification as lightweight coated 'for bibles' (4810.22.50) if not matching that spec
