Import Tips
• Verify kaolin (China clay) coating coverage and weight; test for inorganic substances only, no binders exceeding limits
• Provide grammage certificates (>150 g/m² typical) and sheet dimensions to confirm 'in sheets' classification
• Avoid misclassification as printed if motifs are subsidiary; chapter notes exclude primary pictorial representations
