Import Tips
• Include printer compatibility specs and burst tests to prove self-copy mechanism meets 4816 criteria over plain thermal rolls
• Declare exact basis weight and coating type; pitfalls include undervaluing multi-ply rolls mistaken for single-sheet
• Obtain origin certificates as fiber content affects duty; watch for EU anti-dumping on certain copying papers
