Import Tips
• Request viscosity and brightness specs in COA to ensure compliance and prevent reclassification during customs exam
• Use ISPM-15 compliant packaging for pulp bales to avoid fumigation delays at US ports
• Monitor for contaminants like ash (<0.2%) as high levels could trigger scrutiny under pulp purity definitions
