Import Tips & Compliance
• Conduct alpha-cellulose solubility test to confirm non-dissolving status; retain lab reports for CBP review
• Label bales with pulp type, brightness, and origin; pitfall is vague descriptions leading to 4703.19 unbleached classification
• Check for anti-dumping duties if sourced from specific countries like Indonesia
