Bleached Mechanical Pulp (BMP) Aspen from Germany
Bleached Mechanical Pulp (BMP) from aspen hardwood is produced by mechanical refining followed by peroxide bleaching to enhance whiteness for hygiene papers. The process retains over 90% of the wood's original mass, as no significant chemical delignification occurs. This high-yield, lignin-rich pulp qualifies as mechanical wood pulp under tariff item 4701.00.00.

Import Tips
• Ensure the pulp's yield exceeds 90% and that no chemical pulping steps were used, as the CBSA may request process documentation
• Keep records of the bleaching agents (e.g
• hydrogen peroxide) to confirm mechanical origin
• Declare the pulp's moisture content accurately, as it affects duty calculation
