Import Tips
• Document baryta/kaolin as 'inorganic substances with no other coating' to comply with heading 4810 requirements
• Ensure product is explicitly labeled 'unsensitized' on invoices to distinguish from Chapter 37 goods
• Test for fiber composition; mislabeling mechanical content can lead to audits and penalties
