Import Tips
• Verify kaolin coating coverage and absence of organic binders via lab testing to confirm classification under 4810
• Provide mill test certificates showing multi-ply construction and basis weight to avoid reclassification as single-ply
• Ensure sheets meet size criteria (one side >36 cm, other >15 cm) with precise dimension documentation
