Import Tips
• Provide NaOH insolubility test results from accredited labs; importers often face challenges without standardized testing protocols
• Label shipments clearly as 'sulfite dissolving grade' with batch purity data to facilitate customs clearance
• Avoid common pitfall of generic 'wood pulp' declarations, which may lead to higher duties under other subheadings
