Import Tips
• Verify exact sheet dimensions (width 152.4-360 mm, length 225.25-360 mm) with caliper measurements to avoid reclassification
• Provide lab certification confirming paper basis weight and ruling permanence if surface-colored lines are used
• Avoid bundling with binders or covers, as sets may shift to HTS 4820; import as loose sheets only
