Import Tips
• Verify fiber content lab tests to confirm >10% mechanical/chemi-mechanical fibers for correct classification
• Ensure roll width exceeds 15 cm and provide dimension certificates to avoid reclassification to narrower formats
• Declare coating type (kaolin/inorganic only) accurately; additional coatings shift to other headings
