Import Tips
• Verify solubility test results (92%+ insoluble fraction in 18% NaOH) via lab certification to confirm dissolving grade status and avoid reclassification
• Provide detailed chemical analysis reports including alpha cellulose, ash content (<0.15% for sulfite but applicable for quality), and brightness for CBP review
