Import Tips

• Verify pulp brightness and kappa number via lab testing to confirm semi-bleached status (typically 50-70% ISO brightness)

• Provide mill certificates detailing cooking process (soda), species (non-coniferous), and insoluble fraction below dissolving grade thresholds

• Avoid misclassification as bleached by ensuring documentation shows incomplete bleaching process
