Import Tips
• Label bales clearly with bleach type (e.g
• chlorine-free) and brightness level to facilitate CBP verification
• Include mill test reports showing <0.15% ash for sulfite-like purity, aligning with chapter note standards
• Avoid bulk shipping without liners; moisture absorption can alter pulp properties and classification
