Refiner Mechanical Pulp (RMP) Pine from Mexico
Refiner Mechanical Pulp (RMP) from pine is made by refining softwood chips in a pressurized refiner without pre-steaming, producing economical pulp for newsprint with a natural wood color. The high lignin content provides stiffness for printing papers. This purely mechanical process qualifies as mechanical wood pulp under 4701.00.00.

• Provide process flow diagrams showing no chemical addition before or during refining
• The CBSA may verify the absence of pre-steaming; keep temperature logs
• Ensure the pulp's yield is above 90% to avoid reclassification as chemical pulp
