Northern Softwood TMP from United States
Northern Softwood TMP is a thermomechanical pulp produced from northern softwood species, primarily spruce, pine, and fir. It is manufactured by steaming wood chips at high temperatures and then mechanically defibrating them, with mild chemical additives to aid fiber separation. This combination of mechanical and chemical processing places it under tariff item 4705.00.00, which covers wood pulp obtained by a combination of mechanical and chemical pulping processes.

Import Tips
• Ensure the pulp meets the definition of 'combination of mechanical and chemical pulping processes' under heading 47.05, as pure mechanical or chemical pulps fall under different headings
• Have documentation ready showing the production process, including steaming temperatures and chemical additives, to facilitate CBSA classification
• Verify the country of origin to determine if preferential tariff treatment applies under free trade agreements
