Import Tips
• Submit ISO brightness and kappa number tests to confirm bleached status and avoid downgrade to unbleached codes
• Label shipments with exact species (e.g
• Pinus radiata) and process to comply with coniferous verification
• Beware of mixed pulp bales; segregation prevents reclassification as composite under other headings
