Cotton linters pulp is derived from the short fibers remaining on cotton seeds after ginning, processed into a pulp form from this cellulosic material. It falls under HTS 4706.10.00.00 as pulp of other fibrous cellulosic material, specifically cotton linters, which are a natural byproduct rather than wood-based. This high-purity pulp is valued for its alpha-cellulose content exceeding 95%.

Import Tips

• Verify alpha-cellulose content via lab testing to confirm classification under 4706, avoiding misclassification as waste under Chapter 47

• Obtain Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity and insoluble fraction to meet CBP documentation requirements

• Ensure supplier provides origin certificates, as duty-free status may apply under certain trade agreements like USMCA
