Thermomechanical Pulp (TMP) from Mexico
Thermomechanical Pulp (TMP) is produced by steaming wood chips at high temperature and then mechanically defibrating them, with mild chemical additives to enhance fiber separation. This process combines both mechanical and chemical pulping methods, which is the defining characteristic of tariff item 4705.00.00. TMP is commonly used in the production of graphic papers, tissue, and packaging grades.
