Import Tips

Verify mechanical fiber content exceeds 10% via lab testing to confirm classification under 4810.29

Include mill certificates showing kaolin coating and unsensitized state to avoid reclassification as finished photo paper

Beware of over-declaring weight; rolls must match exact g/m² specs to prevent duty adjustments
