Import Tips
• Verify paper meets cigarette paper standards (thinness, porosity) via lab tests to avoid reclassification as general paper
• Provide mill certificates confirming composition and no printing to comply with chapter notes excluding printed motifs
• Declare exact weight per m² and roll dimensions; common pitfall is mislabeling as wrapping paper leading to audits
