Import Tips
• Verify kaolin (China clay) coating documentation and test for no other coatings to confirm classification
• Provide grammage certificates showing multi-ply structure over 150 g/m² to avoid reclassification to lighter papers
• Ensure rolls are not cut to size, as that could shift to heading 4820 per chapter notes
