High-Temperature Thermomechanical Pulp (HTMP) from Germany
High-Temperature Thermomechanical Pulp (HTMP) is produced by steaming softwood chips at temperatures above 160°C before mechanical refining, enhancing fiber separation and energy efficiency. The process is purely mechanical with no chemical additives, maintaining a high yield and lignin content. This pulp is used for packaging grades and falls under mechanical wood pulp in 4701.00.00.

Import Tips
• Maintain temperature and process logs to demonstrate that no chemicals were used, as the CBSA may verify the mechanical nature
• Ensure the pulp's yield is above 85% to avoid reclassification as chemical pulp
• Declare the wood species, as softwood HTMP is standard for this item
