Import Tips

• Verify coating is solely kaolin or inorganic substances with no binders exceeding limits; provide lab test reports on coating composition

• Confirm grammage >150 g/m² and roll width >15 cm via manufacturer specs to avoid reclassification to lighter weight subheadings

• Ensure no printing dominates use, or it shifts to Chapter 49; declare as unprinted or subsidiary printed
