Bulk Recovered Newsprint Pellets from China
Bulk recovered newsprint pellets are produced by shredding and pelletizing waste newsprint to facilitate handling and transport. The pellets retain the mechanical pulp composition of the original newsprint, making them classifiable under tariff item 4707.30.00 as recovered paper made mainly of mechanical pulp. This processed form is used as feedstock in paper recycling operations.

Import Tips
• Confirm that the pelletizing process does not introduce binders or additives that would change the tariff classification
• CBSA may require documentation showing the pellets are derived from mechanical pulp newsprint
• Check with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency if the pellets are used in animal bedding, as additional requirements may apply
