Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify kaolin (China clay) coating documentation and ensure no additional organic binders or coatings to confirm classification
• Measure roll width exceeding 15 cm and basis weight; provide lab test reports for ply count and coating composition
• Avoid misclassification as single-ply by submitting cross-sectional analysis; common pitfall is undervaluing multi-ply structures
