Import Tips
• Document the paper's compatibility with specific seismic recorder models to prove principal use in self-recording
• Avoid common error of classifying as general thermal paper under 4816; highlight the functional printing
• Batch imports may require additional testing if customs questions burst strength or fiber content unrelated to this heading
