Import Tips
• Obtain mill certificates proving >95% chemical wood fiber content and kaolin coating without binders exceeding limits
• Document intended use as folding stock, not graphic paper, to prevent reclassification during customs exam
• Check for surface decoration; if motifs are primary, it may shift to Chapter 49 per chapter notes
