Import Tips
• Verify kaolin coating documentation and grammage certification exceeding 150 g/m² to avoid reclassification to lighter weights
• Provide mill test reports confirming multi-ply structure and absence of organic binders beyond permitted levels
• Check sheet dimensions; undersized sheets may shift to other subheadings, causing delays
