Raw Cotton Linters Pulp from Mexico

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%.
