Import Tips

• Verify paper thickness does not exceed 0.51 mm using caliper measurements to avoid reclassification to thicker subheadings

• Provide printing method certification proving lithographic process and confirm print date within 20 years for eligibility

• Label shipments clearly as 'printed lithographs on thin paper' and include origin certificates to prevent delays from art chapter scrutiny
