Baled Newspaper Scrap from Germany
Baled newspaper scrap consists of compressed bales of discarded newspapers and newsprint collected from curbside recycling programs. The material is composed primarily of mechanical pulp, which qualifies it for classification under tariff item 4707.30.00 as recovered paper or paperboard made mainly of mechanical pulp. Importers use this feedstock in paper mills to produce recycled paper products.

Import Tips
• Ensure the bales are free of contaminants such as plastics, metals, and non-paper materials, as CBSA may inspect for quality and composition
• Verify that the consignment consists mainly of mechanical pulp paper; if mixed with other paper grades, it may be reclassified
• Keep records of the source and composition to support the tariff classification if questioned
