Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

4706.92.01.00Same rate: 35%

If chemically processed

Chemical pulping of recovered fibers shifts to 4706.92, as it involves dissolution unlike mechanical methods.

4707.20.00Same rate: 35%

If recovered from non-paper fibrous cellulosic material like cotton rags

Pulp from other cellulosic sources like textile waste falls under 4707, distinct from paper-derived pulp.

4801.00.01Same rate: 35%

If pressed into newsprint sheets rather than loose pulp

Transformed into paper form moves to Chapter 48, no longer qualifying as raw pulp.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify pulp is mechanically processed from recovered paper sources via lab testing to confirm classification under 4706.91

Provide certificates of origin and waste content documentation to avoid misclassification as virgin mechanical pulp

Watch for contamination levels, as high non-cellulosic impurities can trigger reclassification or additional inspections
