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
